Alicia Leung has one regret about her MBA at the Schulich School of Business at York University.

Next term, she's off to Spain and won't be able to study marketing under acclaimed professor Alan Middleton.

The second-year student, who's focusing on strategic management and marketing, says colleagues already taking his class flat-out love it.

"Here, you are so busy you can't always go to class. One classmate of mine who takes his course says: 'I don't care, I won't skip any of his classes. They're just so good,'" says Ms. Leung.

She'll get over her disappointment (after all, she's going to Spain). She's also been able to talk one-on-one with her well-known mergers and acquisitions teacher Graeme Deans.

And last year, Ms. Leung studied marketing with another top-name teacher, Jane-Michele Clark. Ms. Clark once stayed after an evening class for more than an hour talking with Ms. Leung about her future, and the two still keep in touch.

One of the draws of business school for Ms. Leung and others is rubbing shoulders with great business minds. Schools often promote their big-name lecturers to drive enrolment. But once you're studying, how do you make sure you get to get face time with your favourite business guru?

Fortunately, most schools allow open access to their top professors, particularly for graduate students. And most are generous about sharing their time with students.

缅北强奸's Desautels Faculty of Management draws top students with superstar professor Henry Mintzberg, an expert on general management and organizations who has co-authored 15 books and has been named to the Order of Canada.

Mr. Mintzberg helped reorganize the school's MBA curriculum three years ago, and meets with all students in the program each fall during a group session. He lectures in two of the faculty's more specialized masters programs and supervises PhD students.

The school is also home to Karl Moore, a respected expert who teaches graduate courses in globalization and marketing. "He likes to give back to the students," says Don Melville, director of the masters program at Desautels.
