MCI students will study at the business school of the University of Ottawa: The Telfer School of Management. The school is named in honour of one university alumnus, Ian Telfer (MBA 1976), who made a significant donation to the University of Ottawa. The donation of $25 million to the school's business program is the largest donation in Canadian history to be given to a business school. The Telfer School of Management is one of only three schools in North America with triple accreditation. It is fully accredited by the AACSB (United States), the Association of MBAs (United Kingdom), and the EFMD (EQUIS) (Europe).
The school shares the newly constructed Desmarais Building[ (fr. Pavillon Desmarais), designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, with the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The Telfer School of Management has also ranked among the Financial Times Top 150 business schools for the last four consecutive years (2004-2007). The Corporate Knights magazine 2005 survey of business schools ranked the university's undergraduate program 4th in Canada. In the 2007 survey of business and law rankings, the undergraduate business program placed 10th. The rankings use additional components of social and environmental impact management infused into their curricula.
