Program overview

A four year business degree covering accounting and finance, marketing, management and organisational behaviour, operations, business analytics, strategy and applied project work across the full undergraduate curriculum.

For an international applicant this is the important business option here, because it is a degree rather than a college credential. Degrees are exempt from the field of study restrictions that constrain college business diplomas, and at the same tuition as the two year diploma the value comparison is not close.

Bachelor of Business Administration is a degree, and degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study requirement, so no CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Business Administration. 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 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6, and tuition for Bachelor of Business Administration is recorded at CAD 16,300 a year with a CAD 150 application fee. 4 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.

  • Business Analyst: process and reporting roles
  • Financial Analyst: corporate finance teams
