A Global Leader in Retail Research and Education
The Alberta School of
Retailing was established in 2006, to provide global leadership in
retail research and education. We are dedicated to preparing and
inspiring university students for successful careers in retailing and
consumer marketing.
The need for a research-intensive School of Retailing is pressing.
Retailing is the engine that drives the global economy, yet it continues
to receive relatively little attention from leading business schools.
Demographics and economic data confirm that the retail sector continues
to be complex and evolving. Leaders are confronted daily with the
demands of increasingly sophisticated, strong-minded and highly
motivated consumers, in an environment where the reaction to change must
happen with lightning speed. Traditional methods are challenged to keep
pace, as retail managers seek out new opportunities to improve their
businesses and enhance the customer experience.
Building on the strength of the programs offered by the University of
Alberta’s School of Business, we have developed a curriculum that
balances a strong foundation in the fundamentals of commerce with
retail-specific training and an integrated program of real-world
experience through a variety of industry partnerships.
