Are you ready to take the next step in your knowledge journey? The Centre for Advanced Management Education has a broad range of programs designed for goal-oriented professionals. Flexible, relevant and tailored to respond to your needs, on-line blended learning offers exciting possibilities to engage within a community of dedicated colleagues.

Sarah Hayes-Brown, Admissions and Registration Coordinator for CFAME, looks forward to receiving your call.

“I am happy to answer any questions potential applicants have about the admissions process, as well as the academic qualifications and job experience that we look for in candidates. The starting point for applicants for any of our programs, is always ensuring they hold an undergraduate degree with an Admissions GPA of 3.0 (we help everyone out with this special calculation!) and that they have at least 5 years professional experience in a field relevant to the program in which they have interest. While we offer a great deal of information on our website, I welcome interested candidates to contact me directly and discuss what program best fits their interests, strengths, and career path. A polished and early application is always a great start!

Once students are admitted to a program, I am also here to help them in planning their courses, communicating any updates about offerings or intensive dates, help with any registration issues, and arrange distributing learning resources so students are prepared for classes for the term!”

Michelle Hunter appreciates Sarah’s passion for helping potential students. “Sarah joined the CFAME team almost a year ago,” Michelle enthused in a recent telephone discussion. “Sarah arrived keen to get down to business and take on her new role working with the MIM, MBA Financial Services, MBA Leadership and the MPA (Management) programs’ current and potential students. Sarah brought with her years of higher education experience, a wonderful sense of humor and delightful stories of raising a 5-year-old (which, for many of us in the office with grown or older children, had forgotten how much fun it was to experience the joys of watching a little one experience things for the first time). We are so pleased that Sarah has chosen CFAME as the place in which to build on her career.”

“Achieving the sought-after MBA designation, is not the final destination for CFAME graduates. Their influence, as strategic thinkers in the knowledge economy, is a confirmation that continuous learning leads to success and increased productivity. This is the legacy of CFAME’s commitment to excellence.”

Dr. Martine Durier-Copp

Dr. Martine Durier-Copp believes that research is ongoing and must be integrated within our day-to-day interactions and activities. She agrees with Dr. Makani that research goes beyond academic walls. Research is the foundation of knowledge exchange and is a continual process. In a recent virtual interview, Dr. Durier-Copp provides background on ongoing research at the Centre for Advanced Management Education.

Management is an art, but also a science, and as any science, it is informed by knowledge. Knowledge develops and grows, as we conduct more research. The way we teach management also evolves, and is based on current best practices, as informed by ongoing research.

Researchers at Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management study and investigate all facets of management from finance, operations management, strategy, marketing, to name a few. Our students also help to build this base of knowledge and are essential for the integration of knowledge within the broader community. Our students’ projects provide invaluable contributions to this exercise.

At CFAME, we are particularly interested in e-learning. That means, how students learn on-line, and how that is different from how they learn in traditional classrooms. That knowledge helps to inform the way we teach on line. Achieving the sought-after MBA designation, is not the final destination for CFAME graduates. Their influence, as strategic thinkers in the knowledge economy, is a confirmation that continuous learning leads to success and increased productivity. This is the legacy of CFAME’s commitment to excellence.

So, how do we conduct research?

One always begins with an analysis or review of the literature. What have other researchers found? We examine their studies for relevance, context, and of course, methodological rigour. From there, we can move on to extract important themes and issues, which can help us to develop a research framework – the lens or perspective from which we shall conduct our own analysis.

We then frame our research question, being a precise as possible; select our research method; and justify that method.
