| Concordia University (John Molson School of Business) The John Molson School of Business, formerly the Faculty of Commerce, was created at the same time as Concordia University in 1974, following the merger of Loyola College and Sir George Williams University. The latter had been offering courses in commerce since 1932. Since 1976, the School has offered a Doctorate in Business Administration in association with Montréal’s other management schools. The John Molson School of Business has 140 full-time professors and almost 7,000 students, nearly 900 of whom come from outside Canada, and 1,300 of whom are at the honours and postgraduate level. In the area of finance, the School offers a Masters in Investment Management degree that integrates the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) qualification. This is the only program of its kind in Canada, and is offered jointly with the Goodman Institute in Toronto. The program is remarkable for its exceptional success rate (82% in 2007). The School specializes in actuarial mathematics and portfolio management, with specialized doctorates in the area. The School also has an Investment and Trading Centre: a market room that allows students and professors to access sophisticated portfolio management analysis and simulation tools. Finally, the School announced in January 2007 the launch of the Desjardins Centre for Innovation in Business Finance, in addition to developing new joint programs with the private sector. École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) Montréal Founded in 1907 by the Montréal Board of Trade, the school has 250 professors and nearly 12,000 students, of whom 2,800 are foreign students. It also has approximately forty chairs and research centres and groups, notably the Centre de recherche en e-finance, which comprises 60 researchers, and focuses mainly on the impacts of e-finance on productivity in financial markets as pertains to private and social risk. HEC offers numerous specialized graduate diplomas (DESS), notably in Private Wealth Management and Management and Sustainable Development. It also offers a Master of Laws (Taxation option), and a Master of Science in Electronic Commerce, as well as master degrees and a doctorate in Administration. HEC has partnerships with more than 80 universities around the world, and is an innovator in the internationalization of teaching, with its trilingual Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, a first in North America. McGill University (Desautels Faculty of Management) The creation of the Desautels Faculty of Management dates back to the opening of McGill University’s Department of Commerce in 1906. The School of Commerce was founded in 1920. The Faculty of Management, which combines the School of Commerce and the Graduate School of Business Administration, was created in 1968. The Faculty counts more than 83 full-time professors and 3,000 students, of whom 700 are studying at the honours and graduate level. Nearly 600 of the bachelor-level students are non-Canadian, as are nearly 200 of the graduate students (50% for the MBA and 75% for the doctoral level). The Faculty also has exchange agreements with 20 management schools around the world. It includes eleven institutes and research centres, among them the Desmarais Global Finance Centre. The Centre focuses on international financial markets, risk management, asset pricing, and corporate governance and finance. A new investment management program is currently being developed, and will accept its first students in the 2008 fall semester. Highly integrated with the Montréal business community, the Faculty works with business leaders to provide student training (more than 100 Teaching Executives) and specialized seminars (e.g. carbon emissions trade with the Société générale). Université du Québec à Montréal (School of Management) Established in 1998, the School of Management (ESG) of the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) today comprises 225 professors and more than 12,000 students, including approximately 2,500 foreign students. More than 2 000 students are enrolled in the honours and master’s programs. The ESG has established agreements with 30 partner universities around the world, including numerous joint programs (e.g. the Executive MBA with the Université Paris-Dauphine). It has also created partnerships with several finance-related organizations:
The School is committed to research, as witnessed by the work of its specialized research chairs: the Chair in Financial Services Management, the Corporate Reporting Chair, and the Desjardins Chair in the Management of Derivative Products. Lastly, its new virtual markets room provides for complex simulations of fluctuations in monetary, stock and derivatives markets, allowing students to experiment with the construction of new indicators or new financial instruments.
