The Telfer School of Management offers programs leading to graduate diplomas in Organizational Performance Management, Scientific Management and Leadership, and Leadership and Management (offered only in French at the moment), as well as to the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Management.
The master's program is designed to train experts who can contribute to academic excellence and influence change in society by undertaking and disseminating rigorous academic, applied and policy research in management, particularly in the fields of innovation management and entrepreneurship.
Students in the program may opt to complete a concentration in either one of these two fields. The concentration appears on the transcript.
The PhD program in Management is offered under the auspices of the Telfer School of Management. It is offered on a full-time basis in the following five fields:
- Accounting and Control
- Entrepreneurship
- Finance
- Health Systems
- Organizational Behavior and Human Resources
- Strategy and Organization
Information on the areas and research interests of the professors is posted on the program website.

Note(s)
- 1
The optional course selected must be from a field of the PhD in Management other than the student’s primary field.
- 2
In collaboration with their TAC (thesis advisory committee), students may take a content course offered by another academic unit, in lieu of a Special Topics course, if deemed a better fit for their thesis research.
- 3
The Comprehensive Examination is a two-part examination (written and oral) that is overseen by the Thesis Advisory Committee. Once the written exam has been passed, the student proceeds to the oral. A student who fails either component of the exam is allowed to repeat it the following term. A second failure in either component leads to withdrawal from the program. The Comprehensive Examination must normally be completed within five terms of commencing the program and, at the latest, by the end of the sixth term. Failure to sit and pass the examination by the deadline counts as a failure. Further details about the comprehensive exam are posted on the program website.
- 4
The thesis proposal, prepared under the direction of the thesis supervisor, must be defended to the satisfaction of the Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC). The proposal must normally be successfully completed by the end of the seventh term. In the event of failure, the proposal can be resubmitted and defended the following term at the latest. A second failure leads to withdrawal from the program. The proposal must be successfully defended before submitting it to the Research Ethics Board (if required) and before undertaking any independent data collection. Further details about the thesis proposal are posted on the program website.
Transfer from Master's to PhD
To receive the doctorate following the fast-track, students must successfully complete 36 course units (MSc + PhD), the comprehensive examination, the thesis proposal and the thesis.
Additional Requirements
The requirements outlined above are a minimum. For information about additional courses, please see the “Admission Requirements” section.
Duration of Program
The requirements of the program are usually fulfilled within four years. The maximum time permitted is six years from the date of initial enrollment in the program, or seven years in the case of students fast-tracked from the master’s to the doctorate.
Minimum Standards
The passing grade in all courses is 70% (B). Students who fail two courses (equivalent to 6 units), the comprehensive exam, the thesis proposal, the thesis or whose progress is deemed unsatisfactory must withdraw from the program.
Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC)
During the first term, a thesis advisory committee (composed of the thesis supervisor and at least two other professors) is assigned in consultation with the student. The three committee members must cover at least two of the fields in the program. The composition of the committee must be approved by the Program Director. This committee is responsible for providing advice throughout the program, including on academic integrity and research ethics. The student meets with the TAC at least twice a year and receives a written report from the Committee following each meeting.
