About the Ivey Business School, Western University

The Ivey Business School at Western University is Canada’s leading provider of real-world, case-based business education. Drawing on extensive research and business experience, Ivey faculty provides the best classroom experience, equipping students, through Case-Method Learning, with the skills and capabilities they need to tackle today’s leadership challenges. Beyond the classroom, Ivey students gain a global perspective on business issues, through international study trips, exchanges, and practicums.

Ivey is conveniently located on Western University’s campus in London, Ontario, Canada, midway between Toronto and Detroit, Michigan. Often considered Canada’s most beautiful university, Western’s main campus spans 481.2 hectares of Gothic-style buildings mixed with modern, LEED-certified structures like the Richard Ivey Building, providing an idyllic environment for our community of scholars.

Within London, Ivey also offers Executive Education programs a short distance off Western’s campus at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre. The School has also branched outside of London, operating from its downtown Toronto campus at the Donald K. Johnson Centre and its Hong Kong campus, Cheng Yu Tung Management Institute, where Ivey was the first North American business school to establish a campus in China.

The School’s purpose is to inspire leaders for a sustainable and prosperous world. “Ivey’s renewed mission sets a new challenge for all of us to, ‘address critical issues facing business and society.’ We aspire to be a place to understand and address the critical issues of the world and bring our unique expertise to transform individuals, organizations, and communities to thrive and prosper.” says Dean Sharon Hodgson.

Ivey has seven different degree programs to choose from, including undergraduate, masters and PhD programs. As Canada’s leading business school, Ivey was the first to launch MBA, Executive Education and PhD programs in Canada and the nation’s second Executive MBA program. Today, many of these programs are globally ranked by The Economist, Financial Times, and Bloomberg Businessweek.
