A message from AM&E
RE: COVID-19
As we continue to navigate these uncertain times, the MBA Program in Arts, Media & Entertainment (AM&E) is working with the Schulich School of Business and York University to ensure that our program runs as smoothly as possible.
We are working remotely and are available to answer any of your questions or just to catch up. Our classes will continue online until we are able to safely get back to the classroom. We have had positive feedback from our students with regard to the transition to online course delivery but, with the help of our students, faculty and the school as a whole, we are working to make the online learning environment the best that it can be. As we continue to adapt to new methods of teaching and learning, we welcome your continued feedback and suggestions as we strive to provide the optimum learning experience, online or in person.
We look forward to working with the members of our incoming class of fall 2020. Congratulations to each of you! For those who have applied, applications are still being processed and, if your file is complete, you should be hearing shortly. If you have any questions regarding any of the admission criteria including the GMAT or GRE, please connect with our admissions team, Carol Partland at cpartland@schulich.yorku.ca or Cecilia Cheng at ccheng@schulich.yorku.ca. We are always here if you have further questions.
We continue to work with SSB (see https://schulich.yorku.ca/covid-19-response/)
and York to ensure that we are able to respond quickly to our constituents and, especially, our students. If you have any questions, we are at the other end of an email or a phone call. You can reach Co-Director, Joyce Zemans at jzemans@yorku.ca and Program Coordinator Kathleen Welsby at kwelsby@schulich.yorku.ca.
Please let us know how we can be of assistance and look for future updates on this and the Schulich site (https://schulich.yorku.ca/).
