Ivey Business School at Western University has announced that it will launch a Graduate Diploma in Management for non-business professionals in 2026. The four-month program for working professionals will be offered in a blended format with two in-person weekends and a five-day capstone project. “By equipping non-business graduates with essential business knowledge and leadership capabilities, we’re opening the door to new career possibilities and a broader, more diverse classroom experience,” said Ivey Associate Dean of Programs Darren Meister. Learners who complete this program will be able to transition into Ivey’s Accelerated MBA with advanced standing and an entrance scholarship.
