Master of Management Analytics

This is a great program and it has a top-notch reputation in Canada and globally (best business school on CourseCompare, top on Financial Times, Economist, QS global lists, etc.) But the reason I chose it was because it was flexible and close to home. Other than orientation week (a gruelling 7:30am-9pm schedule) I could manage the workload and professional responsibilities with two high school aged kids at home. I learned much about myself and leadership style and how to get more out of my team. I loved the diversity here: military leaders, government managers, a home builder were mixed in with the expected crowd of management consultants and executives. I even picked up some tricks in data analytics and Excel I didn't think were possible for a veteran like me. My only caution is the price tag -- a hefty $100k+. So I would encourage people to have their company foot the bill if possible.

This is the best business school in Canada, IMO. Employers recognize it and MBA grads have some of the best salaries in the country after graduation. The analytics program is basically a bolt-on to core business school, networks, curriculum, etc. just with profs that can take you deeper into data. Oh, and some of the best data scientists in the world are at UofT. If you're professionally mature and ready for a challenging master's program in Toronto, then you can't really go wrong here.
