University Canada West has received a one-year extension of the consent to offer the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program. The University is working closely with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills to establish a renewal of the consent.

While we continue to secure the renewal of consent, UCW has paused new admissions to the MBA program, effective Spring 2025 and beyond.  

Current MBA students and prospective MBA students with an LOA issued before July 30, 2024, will not be affected by these changes.

Applications for the MBA program for the Winter 2025 Term are still open and UCW will continue to accept applications for the BCom, BABC and Associate of Arts programs throughout 2025.

Below are Frequently Asked Questions about applications that should answer many of your questions.
