UPEI MBA graduate Craig Dauphinee“The EMBA program at UPEI gave me the skills, tools, and professional networking to advance my business. The program's evidence-based approach provided analytical knowledge to help me be successful. Returning to school while working full time required dedication and hard work; however, I would do it all over again!”

UPEI MBA graduate Gordon MacKay“It was a challenge to return to school after being in the workforce for 32 years. Balancing the EMBA course load and my law practice was difficult at times; however, the cohort structure of the program meant I got lots of support in getting the job done. The evidence-based approach to business management taught in the program aligns nicely with the practice of law.”

Personally, I am able to balance my education with work and family, and professionally, the program arms me with the insight to change the way I think and make decisions.

UPEI MBA graduate Rachel Clark McDearmid“In 2012, my position was affected by budget cuts. Suddenly, I was unemployed so I took the opportunity to refresh and pursue further education. UPEI’s EMBA program taught me to question more and how to find answers; afforded me rare insights into business and leadership; and it put me in the company of extraordinarily talented people.”
