The Faculty of Business Administration, in partnership with the Faculty of Engineering, has created a new Master of Business Administration in Engineering (MBA-Eng.) for professionals who would like to further their studies without taking extended leave from their jobs or moving away from the region.

“The Faculty of Engineering is recognized as among the top 20 per cent of engineering schools in North America,” says UNB President John McLaughlin. “We expect that this new program will attract the attention of candidates both within, and well beyond our traditional regional boundaries.”

As one of only a few programs of it kind in Canada, the MBA in Sport & Recreation Management program is a perfect example of why It’s Never Business as Usual in the Faculty of Business Administration. One of the things that the Faculty prides itself on is our unique experiential learning options and the Sport & Recreation Management program is no exception with its internship option.

Since the program began in 2005, students have gone all over North America working for organizations such as the American Hockey League, Softball Canada, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League teams like the Saint John Sea Dogs. Two of the program’s biggest internship opportunities have come this year with students going to work for the Los Angeles Kings and Ottawa Senators of the NHL.

Second-year student Mark Francis worked with the Kings this past summer in their Community Relations & Fan Development Department and was thrilled with the experience.
