Haskayne School of Business

What Haskayne School of Business does

Haskayne School of Business is the business school of the University of Calgary, founded in 1967 and operating from Scurfield Hall and Mathison Hall on the UCalgary main campus in Calgary, Alberta. It delivers accredited business education across undergraduate (Bachelor of Commerce with nine concentration areas), graduate (Full-time, Flexible, Accelerated, and Executive MBA variants; Master of Management; Master of Finance), doctoral (DBA and PhD), and executive levels, serving recent graduates, working professionals, executive leaders, and corporate organizations. Its business model is tuition-driven (subscription/recurring) for degree programs, with professional services revenue from Executive Education, RECA-approved real estate pre-licensing courses, and ancillary fees (parking, printing, student services). The school differentiates through its position in Calgary's energy and finance hub, a regionally exclusive Master of Finance credential, an ICBC competition record of 94 national championships over 41 consecutive years of top-three finishes, and a stated $2.4 billion annual economic and social impact across Calgary.

The school's technology and learning infrastructure includes the HSB Trading Lab (MTH 139) with live-market energy trading simulations co-developed with Capital Power, the Interactive Trader 2.0 simulation client, a 24/7 PhD Research Lab (SH 499) equipped with advanced statistical and analytics software (SPSS, Stata, Matlab, AMOS, Nvivo, Arena, Mathematica, Lisrel, Parscale), the VMock Smart Resume Platform for career preparation, and a course-specific software suite (Accumap, ArcGIS, Palisade Decision Tools, RapidMiner, R, Tableau, Power BI). Experiential learning is delivered through the Co-operative Education program, course-based student consulting (PROPEL) across six capstone courses, the Capital Power Energy Trading Competition, and signature events including the Inspiring Business Leader Award and W. David Duckett Speaker Series.

Distribution operates primarily through the University of Calgary's admissions portal for student enrollment, supplemented by direct employer engagement via the Haskayne Elevate job board and the Career & Student Experience office for co-op and full-time hiring, and direct executive education sales to corporate clients. Haskayne maintains an active presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and Instagram, and engages alumni and corporate partners through events, mentorship programs (BMO Mentorship), and alumni awards. Recent strategic emphasis is on AI/data analytics credentialing (NoCode x GenAI Professional Education Program, Diploma in Data Science and Analytics, Graduate Certificates), energy-sector integration (Capital Power partnership, MSc Sustainable Energy Development), and expansion of executive and board-level training.
