Brokers launch online MBA and H.B.Com programs

The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) and its member associations have launched online Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Honours Bachelor of Commerce (H.B.Com) programs.
The degree programs are available to insurance brokers across Canada through an exclusive arrangement with Laurentian University and its Faculty of Management.
“The programs are affordable, fully online, and provide the flexibility needed for very busy professionals,” said IBAC CEO Dan Danyluk.
The degree programs include a broad range of courses in areas such as management science, statistics, accounting, marketing, organizational behaviour and operations, as well as advanced electives in business studies.
The programs are open to brokers who are members of any of IBAC’s 11 member associations, and who have achieved their Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker (CAIB) or Canadian Professional Insurance Broker (CPIB) designation.
In addition, brokers seeking admission into the programs will receive consideration for both academic and professional experience.
Applications for admission to the Laurentian online MBA and H.B.Com programs will be accepted from Jan. 3 to Mar. 31, 2011, for courses beginning September 2011.
