Eliminate barriers through partnerships
We build partnerships to offer experiential learning opportunities that allow us to connect our students to the global community.
We’re expanding our scale of influence by partnering with private and public businesses, other faculties at Memorial, and provincial and federal governments to create a global network and expand educational and career opportunities for our students. Through these partnerships, we can be part of our community – locally and globally – while also preparing students to make significant contributions to the world around them.
Our expanding network broadens and enriches research possibilities as well as opportunities to undertake cutting-edge research that helps take our students and our society to the next level.
Our goal
Better understand the diverse learning needs of our students.
Our progress
Our partnership with Gardiner Centre allows graduate students to participate in valuable professional development opportunities.
Our certificate and diploma programs target working professionals who wish to enhance their business education and advance their careers. These programs are also stepping-stones toward earning a full degree.
Our goal
Connect with industry and government to ensure our programming aligns with industry trends and current market needs.
Our progress
We offer interdisciplinary programming through partnerships with other academic units at Memorial. These include joint undergraduate degrees with the School of Music and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), and a graduate degree with HSS.
We also offer a minor in business administration, which is available to any undergraduate student at Memorial.
Our goal
Foster interdisciplinary and industry research collaborations.
Our progress
Our faculty members regularly undertake cutting-edge research with academics beyond the business faculty.

We strive to improve relationships with our alumni and advance our connections with industry.
Our progress
Some of our key industry relationships are representing through successful grant applications, many of which require community partnerships.
We also enjoy strong relationships with alumni and industry, which is reflected in a 100 per cent placement rate for students in our Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative) program.
