Program overview
A four year business degree covering accounting and finance, marketing, management and organisational behaviour, operations, business analytics and strategy, with a practicum component built into the structure.
This is the most important business option in the catalogue for an international applicant, and the reason is priced into it. At CAD 16,200 it costs barely more than the one year business certificate and about the same as the two year diploma, while carrying degree level work permit standing that neither of those has.
Bachelor of Business Administration is a degree, so it is exempt from the field of study requirement entirely. The institution records CIP code 52.0201 for Bachelor of Business Administration, which is informational rather than determinative. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Business Administration with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Business Administration in writing before you pay a deposit.
Applicants to Bachelor of Business Administration need Grade 12 / High School with at least 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Bachelor of Business Administration is recorded at CAD 16,200 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 7 intake windows are listed. Apply Study Visa manages the Bachelor of Business Administration application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
