Why did you choose the Sprott Professional MBA?

I was thinking of enhancing and updating my leadership knowledge and education and I was looking for different MBA programs in Canada. I preferred Sprott’s PMBA program because of the structure of the program designed specially for working professionals with one on one interaction with professors. Love the program and enjoying the blessing of gaining knowledge with highly qualified professors.
