Caleb Gibbons
1988-1990, MBA
Dalhousie MBA
I came to DAL from CBU in Cape Breton (BBA 88') and had both a great academic and business experience (Coburg Consultants) at Dalhousie. With a class size of 100, the placement rate in full time employment was second to none, even in the jaws of a deep domestic recession. Key employers were confident in expending their Corporate Banking training budgets in further developing DAL MBA grads. DAL grads retain a reputation for hard work, loyalty and fair dealing, all traits that transcend both borders and business cycles.
Dan Juskovic
2005-2008, MBA
Dal Inspired My Mind
It was a privilege to take the DAL MBA (FS) program geared towards financial services executives, professionals and managers. This program provided me with a great experience in a number of areas: it is academically challenging and well structured to balance the needs of a busy professional, it provides substantial insights into the industry and creative tools today's financial services manager needs and can use when making decisions at work, and it provides a significant opportunity to network with like minded professionals. Dal program inspired me to do more, and I did more. It helped me get to where I am today.
Ian Burns
1983-1987, Bachelor of Science (BSc)
Great university, wonderful education, incredible location!
Dalhousie consistently strives to attract strong faculty who provide a great, well-rounded education and a strong platform from which to launch successful careers.. As a host city, Halifax can't be beaten for its architecture, culture and facilities.

The Application Journey
Eight steps, that's all it takes to get a spot at your dream university.
View the journey stepsThe Application Journey
01
Create Account
To build your SchoolApply profile, you will need to answer a few questions about yourself, your academic goals and your finances. We won't share this information with anyone else. Creating a SchoolApply account is the first step in your journey to studying at a university abroad.
02
Upload documents
The documents you upload will help us determine if we can support you in your goal of studying at a university abroad. You will need to pay a SchoolApply admin fee in order to move on to step 3.
03
Meet your advisor
Your very own advisor will guide you through the Application Journey. At step 3, you will call your advisor so you can express what is important to you and they can tell you about your options. After the call, your advisor will send you a list of universities you can apply to.
04
Start application
With SchoolApply, you only need to create one application; your advisor will submit it to the universities for you. For your application, you will need to include your academic history, English and entrance exam results, an essay and reference letters. You will also pay an application fee to each university through SchoolApply.
05
Submit application
Your advisor will review the things you uploaded in step 4 and will submit your completed application to the universities you selected. You will receive a notification when a university's response comes in.
06
Accept an offer
This might be one of the most exciting parts of the Application Journey! To accept an offer, you will need to pay a deposit (you can do this through SchoolApply) to confirm your acceptance. Remember: you can only accept one offer!
07
Visa interview
You will need to go to the embassy of the country where you will be studying to get your student visa. Let your advisor know when the visa interview is scheduled. At this step, we will also offer to help with booking your flight and arranging housing, insurance and student loans.
08
Study abroad
The final step in your Application Journey is letting us know that you're on your way to university. This step is the easiest because we don't need any information. At this stage, we can close your SchoolApply account.
