Hill School of Business

The Hill School of Business has a long-term strategic agreement with the Ivey Business School at Western University. Our relationship with the Ivey Business School creates unique opportunities for students and faculty.

Hill-Ivey HBA Scholarships

The Hill-Ivey HBA Scholarship is an exclusive opportunity for exceptional Hill students. A limited number of scholarships are awarded to students who have completed their first two years (60 credit hours) at the Hill School and who meet all the requirements for admission to the Ivey Honours Business Administration program (Ivey HBA). These students enter the Ivey HBA and complete their final two years at the Ivey Business School.

Scholarship recipients receive $20,000 for each of the two years they attend Ivey.

To date 34 Hill students have received this scholarship.

Talk to your Hill advisor if this opportunity is of interest to you!

Hill-Ivey Case Series

In partnership with the Ivey Business School, faculty members from the Hill School co-author teaching cases which feature organizations and leaders in Western Canada. Fourty-five Hill-Ivey cases on Western Canadian businesses have been published since 2009. Over 128,800 copies have been distributed and used in 98 countries (as of March 2022).

Ivey experts also visit Hill to deliver workshops on the case method for teaching, as well as on case writing. These experiences serve to enrich the classroom experience for Hill students.

Hill-Ivey Faculty Immersion and Visiting Professorships

Faculty members from the Hill School have the opportunity to engage in an immersion experience at Ivey and professors from Ivey visit the Hill School. The intent is to develop and enhance case writing, teaching, and research partnerships amongst Hill and Ivey faculty members.

The areas of collaboration for Ivey Visiting Professors include Entrepreneurship, Agribusiness, Energy and International Business.
