The University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business will launch an executive MBA in Strategic Mining Management in September 2015. The program, which comes at the request of the sector, is designed to provide professionals with the integrated business and operational training necessary to lead the industry.
The program was developed the Sauder School of Business and UBC’s Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, along with an advisory council of senior mining executives.
Through the program, students will take interactive online modules and meet four times for weeklong residencies in Vancouver, London and Santiago. According to UBC, students will learn from local experts and professionals and get firsthand experience with world-leading finance companies and mining operations.
“The Sauder School’s strong ties to Vancouver’s global mining community and partnership with the Keevil Institute, North America’s leading mining engineering school, have allowed us to create an unparalleled educational experience set to make an important contribution to the future of mining in British Columbia and around the world,” says Sauder’s Dean Robert Helsley, grosvenor professor of cities, business economics and public policy.
