Canada is home to world-class universities that consistently rank among the best in the world. While studying in Canada you will receive a world-class education due to the high academic standards and stringent quality control. The 10 provinces and 3 territories that makeup Canada are in charge of education. This means that strong quality control in higher education is upheld by provincial law and frequently includes external agency reviews and internal university reviews. While there are dozens of great private universities in Canada, we’ll focus on a few of the favourites among international students with top rankings!
List Of Private Universities In Canada
Schulich School Of Business At York University
The Schulich School of Business at York University is one of the largest business private universities in Canada and one of the largest in North America. It is located on Keele Street near the York University campus in Toronto (Canada). The university offers a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programmes in business, accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing and information systems.

Ivey Business School
Ivey Business School is one of the best business schools in the world. It is ranked #1 in Canada and #7 globally by The Financial Times, making it one of only two private universities in Canada for business studies (the other being Rotman) to make it onto that list. Ivey’s MBA programme has also been ranked first in Canada for the last 10 years by Aon Hewitt.
The school was founded in 1949 as part of Western University. In 1964, Charles Catto became the dean of what was then called The School of Commerce and Finance at Western. He wanted to build up a strong business school so he worked with alumnus Peter Munk—who would go on to found Barrick Gold Corporation—to raise funds for a new building on campus that would house both undergraduate classes and graduate programmes such as an MBA programme as well as executive education courses like those offered through Wharton Executive Education today; these courses are still taken by executives from companies like Facebook, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Google Fiber Inc., Boeing Co., General Electric Co., Lockheed Martin Corp., etc.

Conclusion
Canadian universities have a lot to offer. They often have smaller class sizes than many other countries, making for a more personal experience. They also tend to have higher tuition rates than public universities in the United States but lower ones than private schools here at home. If you’re looking to dive into an MBA programme that will give you the best of both worlds—smaller classes and affordability—consider visiting one of these top-notch institutions!
