Although Edmonton, Alberta, Canada isn't the first name that springs to mind when thinking of business, this city of 700,000 has much to offer students interested in business administration, management, or economics. According to a 2002 report, Edmonton had the lowest overall business costs of more than 85 cities studied, making it the number one city in western North America in which to do business. Edmonton's extremely robust oil economy certainly doesn't hurt either. But there are many other reasons why you might want to attend business school in this bustling metropolis.

The Alberta Research Council and the Edmonton Research Park have helped attract a steady supply of labor and academics. As technology and business become more intertwined, we can expect Edmonton's importance to become even more pronounced.
