University of Calgary Speciality : Business and Strategy
programme: BCom

University of Calgary’s Haskayne (buisness) program is full of very qualified professors that try to imbue their classes with the passion they posses for the topics they are teaching but sometimes fall short when trying to connect with students. The topics taught in classes are not always the most engaging regardless of the effort of the professor. The program itself also forces you to take a series of options that seem to just bloat the course load with meaningless classes that rarely impact the quality of the degree.

The university is a perfect blend of academically driven yet somewhat laid back. This balance is accredited to the professors who encourage their students to strive for their best capabilities whilst also providing them with a much laid back environment in the form of group work, which allows for excellent networking opportunities relevant to one’s field. The access to networking made possible by the university is once again highlighted through the networking events it hosts frequently. Additionally, University of Calgary does not fall short of additional resources to aid in every aspect of your life – from day-to-day needs to a broader variety of issues that may need to be tackled. For example, the university consists of committees such as the international students’ committee, the mental health committee and the sexual assault committee. Moreover, there are workshops held to aid in tackling a wide variety of issues any of the students may face. For example, women’s workshops, budgeting workshops, building resume workshops and essay writing workshops.
