The Ted Rogers School of Management released its third annual EDI Report, capturing the school’s achievements and the many ways the community continued to push for equity and belonging over the 2024-2025 academic year.
Across the report, you will see how students, faculty, staff and alumni have worked to celebrate achievements, advocate for meaningful change, reciprocate through service and connection, and educate with intention. Each area reflects a different expression of our shared values: recognition of individual and collective impact, support for initiatives that challenge inequities, contributions that strengthen community capacity, and teaching and research that expand understanding.
The Sustainability Leadership Network brings together a diverse ecosystem of leaders in industry to advance sustainability in business education and practice. The member corporations will shape the network to support and recognize emerging ventures which are committed to shaping a more sustainable future.
Schneider Electric joined the network as a founding member, kicking off the new partnership with a fireside chat at the 2025 Toronto Global Forum. Organizations that are interested in learning how to join the network can contact Sana Mulji, Senior Advisor, External Relations & Inclusion at sana.mulji@torontomu.ca.

In Fall 2025, the Ted Rogers School released its 2024-25 Donor Impact Report, showcasing the collective impact made possible by the generosity and partnership of our donors.
Looking ahead, the school’s fundraising efforts over the next five years will be guided by the priorities outlined in our Strategic Plan: advancing student learning and success, strengthening and expanding academic programs and driving research and innovation.
Thank you to the many Advisory Council members who have helped us begin to open doors and have conversations to move our priorities forward. We’re excited to work with our members in the community to continue advancing student success, academic programming, and research and innovation.

For the second year in a row, the Ted Rogers MBA has been ranked 6th in the world among large business schools by the Corporate Knights Better World MBA ranking. The annual ranking reflects the strong demand for sustainability in core courses in MBA programs across the world. The Ted Rogers MBA program also placed 18th globally overall and 4th in Canada in the Corporate Knights 2025 Better World MBA ranking.
Toronto Metropolitan University has also ranked in the top five in six categories among Canada’s comprehensive research universities in the latest rankings of Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities from Research Infosource. This year’s rankings demonstrate the ongoing success of TMU researchers as they work together with their partners and collaborators to accelerate research and foster the next generation of experts.
The Ted Rogers Sales Leadership Program (TRSLP) has achieved a major milestone: it has been awarded Full Membership status by the University Sales Center Alliance (USCA), making it the first and only Canadian university to receive this prestigious accreditation.
The award was presented in recognition of the program’s excellence in advancing sales education and preparing students for leadership roles in the global sales profession. TRSLP previously held Associate Member status with USCA, and this elevation to Full Membership reflects the program’s continued growth, impact and alignment with the alliance’s rigorous standards in teaching, research, experiential learning and industry outreach.
In November 2025, the Ted Rogers School celebrated the launch of the new Health Services Management (BComm (Hons)) degree. This major prepares students to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals who can manage effectively within the complex Canadian healthcare system. It combines the strengths of the Business Management program with specialized courses in healthcare administration in one degree. The HSM major is accredited by both the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA) and the Canadian College of Health Leaders (Canadian Health Information Management Association accredited).
