Admission to the MBA will be determined with particular attention given to the student’s past academic achievement and the student’s maturity, interest and a rationale of how such a combined program will enhance their career and professional skills.
The student must provide a letter of intent. The following entrance requirements for the MBA are waived: submission of a GMAT score and a minimum of two years’ work experience. The student will be interviewed by both the Faculty of Business and the Department of Physical Therapy

The first two years are taken entirely within the MScPT program. The third year is entirely within the MBA program. The fourth year (final year) is then completed entirely in the MScPT program.

Routes of appeal for grades and for academic standing are those of the teaching Faculty.
If a student withdraws from the MBA program or is required to withdraw because of unsatisfactory academic standing in the MBA program, but wishes to remain in the MScPT degree program, the student may be permitted to continue provided the student retains good academic standing in that program
