To earn this credential, exchange students spend a term (four months) at Queen's participating in the Mater of International Business Exchange Program, benefitting from Smith’s distinctive features: exceptional learning atmosphere, personal attention, highly engaged faculty, and a powerful sense of community. Graduate students experience a demanding, dynamic learning environment. Areas of interest can include entrepreneurship, social impact, investment banking, accounting, marketing, consulting, international business, human resources and more.  

Students are introduced to the Canadian culture through classroom and non-academic experiences. Many classes include team-based project work and challenges, living business cases, and simulations. Students foster personal capacity in leadership, teamwork, cultural intelligence, resilience, communication, and presentation. Through Smith’s International Exchange Programs, students increase their global awareness and take their learning both in and outside of the classroom into their future educational and career achievements.
