MBA Experience Labs

There are two, three-week Experience Labs (ELs) that ‘bookend’ the program. Following the MBA online pre-residency, students attend their first EL on the Royal Roads University campus in Victoria, B.C. These sessions are intended to be engaging, intense, exploratory, and memorable. The second EL occurs at the end of the program, bringing closure to the MBA experience with an integrated simulation, among other activities.

EL Workload
Students can expect the experience lab periods to be rigorous. The normal classroom schedule is Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Homework, readings, and team meetings are done outside these hours in the evenings. To gain the most from residency, students are advised to avoid personal and work commitments as much as possible to focus solely on the activities of the residency.
