Program Requirements


The full-time MBI is delivered as an in-person program with a project and course-based curriculum, completed over three consecutive terms within one academic year. The part-time program is spread over two academic years requiring six terms to complete. Students must complete and pass all nine (9) core courses and a choice of two (2) program elective courses to achieve an MBI degree.

Additional Information


The MBI program will accommodate learners who enter the program with or without an existing idea for an innovation project. For all learners, the experiential, project-based course (BIOMEDIN 701 - A, B, C) will give students the opportunity to apply concepts from courses and academic development forums to their innovation project, over the 12-month program. All learners will have access to coaching, mentorship, and leadership development throughout the entirety of the program to ensure milestone completion and project progress, and to facilitate project scope modifications where necessary to meet these requirements.
