York University's business school has two bases: the Seymour Schulich Building on the Keele campus in north Toronto, and a downtown centre on King Street West. Schulich is best known for its MBA and a set of specialised master's degrees, including business analytics, finance and real estate. Many of its students come from abroad, and several programmes take students with little work experience.
