Why it matters
Why the Schulich MBAN video essays matter
Schulich's MBAN uses required video essays to learn about applicants beyond the written application, including oral communication and motivation. Because the program is accelerated and applied, strong responses should show fit with evidence-driven business analytics, teamwork, and clear career direction.
12-month full-time structure
The MBAN is a 12-month, full-time program across three academic terms, so applicants need to show they are ready for an accelerated, applied master's experience.
Applied career relevance
The program includes a team-based Analytics Consulting Project with real organizational data, making business communication, evidence use, and collaboration especially relevant to admissions preparation.
Assessment criteria
What Schulich MBAN video essays assess
The required video essays help Schulich understand applicants beyond written materials, especially how clearly they speak, why they want the MBAN, and how well they connect past experience to the program's applied analytics focus. Because Schulich does not publish a formal scoring rubric, preparation should emphasize structured behavioural and situational responses, concrete examples, and concise reflection.
Skill
