About Sprott

Welcome to the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University!

Businesses of tomorrow need to lead from the heart, with compassion, imagination and purpose. We know that a better world is one that is more equitable and just, more sustainable and caring.

Here at Sprott, future leaders gain the confidence to ask hard questions, to embrace diverse perspectives and be authentic in their leadership. For our students, alumni, faculty and staff, we are a community for life.

Vision 2025: Business for a Better World

In 2020, we released our five-year strategic plan, which is centred around five interconnected strategic principles to guide us as we navigate our future and strive to create meaningful impact on the world around us.

Our Aspiration

Through our scholarly work and engagement, we aim to cultivate the enterprising spirit of business in order to foster shared prosperity and advance equity and justice for all.

Our Calling

We create learning experiences and scholarship that harness the potential and opportunity for business to improve lives worldwide. In fulfilling this calling, we acknowledge and respect the Algonquin nation on whose traditional and unceded territory we are gathered and value our location in Ottawa, the thriving capital of a G7 country and a hub of Canadian social and technological innovation.
