The Graduate Programs[1] offer a wide variety of choices and flexibility. The Schulich-Kellogg EMBA allows students to study at both Schulich and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, receiving a degree jointly granted from both institutions. The MBA degree can be combined with the MFA at York University's Faculty of Fine Arts. Also available is the Schulich-Osgoode MBA/LLB degree, in conjunction with the Osgoode Hall Law School.

The undergraduate programs (BBA and iBBA) enroll 340 students (250 for BBA and 90 for iBBA). Applicants must also write up a supplementary application that includes a summary of the organizations, sports teams, volunteer work etc that the applicant has been involved in. There are three essay type questions on the supplementary application. Two reference letters are also required. While the minimum acceptable grade fluctuates every year based on the quality of applicants, the school currently recommends that applicants have an average of between the high 80s and low 90s. All undergraduate applicants must take at least 6 U and M courses, but can not take 2 M courses in the same discipline. Applicants must also take Grade 12 English (U) and Grade 12 Calculus.
