如果你想找一个攻读MBA学位的货真价实的学校，位于加拿大安大略省伦敦市的Western Business School（WBS）会是个不错的选择─—该校可谓真正的物美价廉。从学费上来说，在这儿非加国公民每年只需交$11000的学费，这比很多美国的学校，包括一些公立大学的收费标准都低得多。这也是很多美国学生北上加拿大到该校求学的原因之一。不过，更重要的是，WBS所提供的绝对是一流的MBA教育。Canadian Business杂志数次将Western排在加国20多所工商管理学院的榜首。这也是该校吸引许多外国学生的另外一个重要原因。

Western的很多教授曾在Harvard或Stanford接受过教育，因而他们能把自己高层次的经验带到课堂上去。该校还以老师与学生联系密切而闻名。许多美国学校由于过分重视研究，往往导致教学质量滑坡或无法提高。跟这些学校不同的是，该校绝对把教学放在第一位，教师的提升聘留都首先和教学质量挂钩。学校真正做的研究基本上都是用来指导发展case studies教学法的。Western声称自己紧跟哈佛为第二大设计案例的学校。

加拿大还有一些很有实力的工商管理学校，如Queen's University，McGill University，the University of Toronto和the University of British Columbia的工商管理学院，但只有Western在《商业周刊》的公司招聘者调查中崭露过头角。

Western像美国大多数好的工商管理学校一样国际化。由于美加两国之间没有语言障碍，到该校求学的美国学生并没有身处异国的感觉，不过，他们倒是认为上该校有利于更多地获取从全球的眼光看问题的意识。

Western主要靠国际商务学习中心来开拓全球性的教学思路。该中心负责进行这方面的研究和教学规划。WBS还积极和亚洲、欧洲的商管学校开展校际交流，互派学生。学生们可到意大利、西班牙、瑞典、英国、日本或香港进行为期四个月的学习。通过交流，一些外籍学生来到该校学习，学生的组成更多元化了。WBS特地不和美国的学校进行这种互派学生的交流，目的是为了学生们能接触更具有外国气息的文化。

该校把大约225个学生的大班分成三组上课。一年级的所有课程都是必修的，学生们集中学习九个基础领域的课程。第二学年只有Business Policy课为必修课。修完这些课程后你才可以选修包括The operating Manager和Creative Business Leadership这两门课的一些课程。商学院位于一幢两层楼的城堡般的砂岩建筑里。楼外的两个花园可以容纳500人在这儿举行晚会。学校为学生提供一些住房，但大部分学生住在校外。WBS交通便利，从伦敦市开车到底特律、多伦多，或乘飞机到纽约只需要两个小时，这一点很利于该校和商界建立联系。
