Sprott School of Business and INSOFE partner on pathway to MBA degree

Starting this fall, Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business and the International School of Engineering (INSOFE) are collaborating to give data science students in India a unique pathway into the Sprott MBA.

“There is a pressing need in organizations around the world for leaders who have a strong understanding, and grasp, of both data and business strategy,” said Robin Ritchie, associate dean of Professional Graduate Programs at Sprott. “Our collaboration with INSOFE will produce graduates who can navigate this complexity and see opportunities clearly in order to make an impact.”

The Sprott-INSOFE partnership offers early and mid-career professionals an innovative way to build skills and expand their global credentials.  Students will benefit from a rigorous technical foundation in India, management training in a world-class MBA program in Canada, and the opportunity to test their skills and knowledge through practical experience.

Eligible individuals who complete INSOFE’s Post Graduate Program (PGP) in Business Analytics will be able to access an accelerated pathway into the Sprott MBA.  After completing their INSOFE coursework, they will travel to Canada to complete their MBA coursework and internship at Carleton.  Graduates will receive both a PGP certificate in Business Analytics from INSOFE and an MBA from Carleton University.

“INSOFE’s strength is data science, data analytics, and business analytics,” said Dr. Venkatesh Sunkad, dean of Business Programs at INSOFE. “The Sprott MBA builds on this with a globally-recognized credential and the opportunity to learn and apply management skills in Canada. It’s a powerful combination for individuals from a broad range of backgrounds, which is something we are very proud of.”
