Review about University Canada West
An excellent MBA program at an affordable price (lower than in the USA and TOP quality).
It lasts 2 years, the teachers are very professional, there are many invited specialists (almost every two weeks) with lectures and business meetings. A good option to tighten English (but, of course, not for beginners). The university itself is comfortable, new, modern, everything is there for effective studying. I advise you to stay in a hotel, even if the residence is cheaper: there will be more time and opportunities for quiet classes in silence. A lot of additional reading, large amounts of information.
