New 21-month EMBA designed exclusively for the mining industry.

The NBK Institute and the Sauder School of Business have just launched an Executive MBA in Strategic Mining Management to help build the next generation of industry leaders. The first contingent of students will start in September 2015.

The 21-month EMBA was developed jointly by Sauder and the NBK Institute of Mining Engineering with an advisory council of senior executives from the global mining industry headquartered in Vancouver. Taught by leading business and mining faculty and private sector experts, the program will equip professionals with the integrated perspective needed to manage operational and financial decisions at the highest level.

Designed exclusively for the mining industry, this first-of-its-kind executive business degree was developed in consultation with mining professionals for mining professionals. The new EMBA in Strategic Mining Management harnesses the world-renowned expertise in business education of the Sauder School of Business and North America’s largest and most advanced centre for mining engineering education and research, the Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, to train highly skilled executives in the fields of Operations Management and Executive Management.
