It will attract a diverse international student body. It will be located on a beautiful modern campus in a welcoming and inspiring city. It will produce some of Canada's most outstanding business leaders. It would be the Gerald Schwartz School of Business.
We are committed to responsible management education. Gerald Schwartz Business School is a proud signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative. The PRME membership makes the Gerald Schwartz Business School committed to abiding by the six principles consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
These principles are realized through our teaching, research, and extracurricular activities.
