Summer Institutes

Courses are completed over 12 weeks in the summer and students attend classes two weeknights per week and on Saturdays during the program. Students who complete the Summer Business Institute hit the ground running, fully prepared for success in Massey’s MBA program. All students must first be admitted to a Massey Graduate School of Business MBA program.

Convenient online (SBI) and hybrid (SAI) instruction begins May 20, 2023, and continues through early August, with all classes taught by Massey MBA faculty.

Accounting recruiters will visit periodically during SAI classes to meet with students and discuss the accounting industry and career opportunities in their firms. SAI students typically accept their first accounting job offer by October.
