Welcome to a winning combination for individuals with an undergraduate degree in business and at least two years of relevant experience: the opportunity to become a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) while earning the Sprott MBA. This dynamic, dual accomplishment is possible through a combined MBA/CMA program offered at Sprott.

Take a few minutes to investigate this unique opportunity. You’ll save significant time and money by concurrently earning these credentials instead of achieving them individually. You may be required to take the CMA Accelerated Program to cover your missing CMA prerequisite courses after your Sprott’s MBA studies. You will then write the CMA Entrance Examination and the CMA Case Examination and prepare a Board Report. You must also acquire 24 months of related, practical learning experience approved by CMA Ontario (past experience may qualify). As a Sprott's MBA grad, you are waived from the two-year Strategic Leadership Program, interactive classroom sessions that conceptualize learning acquired in the field.

How Do You Benefit?

If you're a professional who wants to become more effective in your management role and are aspiring to become a senior business leader, you will benefit enormously from this lucrative learning opportunity. You'll acquire a world-class degree that lays the groundwork for earning an internationally-recognized accounting designation.

You'll be soundly equipped to meet the demands of today's corporate environment with key Financial and Strategic Leadership Skills - a combination of abilities that is being aggressively sought by employers. Your marketability for a senior level position increases significantly with a professional accounting designation.

A recent survey of Ontario job placement ads indicated that 85% of accounting and senior level management positions required a professional accounting designation of their candidates. Job prospects expand when business school graduates are equipped with a professional accounting certificate. Additional doors are opened with a CMA designation because its skill set is diverse and applicable to virtually every organization and every aspect of business operations. The choices are practically limitless.

Participants acquiring an MBA and a CMA designation through a combined program will save substantial time and money over those pursuing the degree and designation separately. In some cases, employers will pay the fees associated with one or both programs.

Our expertise is initially gleaned through an academic approach that is later reinforced through practical application in real world situations. Armed with this unique blend of text book and applied learning, newly-certified CMAs hit the ground running and quickly find employment opportunities in any number of fields.

As leaders in management accounting, our expertise is grounded in three pillars of foundational knowledge: accounting, management and strategy. Our capacity to independently focus on each element or, alternatively, to amalgamate information from all three, is becoming increasingly relevant to today’s business environment. Our ability to breathe life into numbers by understanding their implications and making strategic decisions based on them, adds tremendous value to any department of any business. Many CEOs and CFOs are CMAs whose abilities as articulate communicators, team players, creative thinkers and problem solvers were recognized and sought for these leadership positions.

MBA candidates are required to take the CMA Accelerated Program. They must also write the CMA Canada Entrance Examination and Case Examination, and complete a comprehensive Board Report. As graduates of Sprott’s MBA program, candidates are exempt from the Strategic Leadership Program which provides classroom sessions for participants to analyze and compare business scenarios concurrently with their work experience.

More detailed information about these processes is available in the “Requirements” section. Upon completion of these requirements, you will qualify for professional designation as a Certified Management Accountant.
