Faculty of Business Administration


The Faculty of Business Administration offers two degree programs:

  1. The Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree, a four year program after Ontario OAC.
  2. The Bachelor of Administration degree, a one year program after completion of the first two years of the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program.

In the fall of 2003, the faculty introduced a new graduate program offering two Master degrees:

  1. The Master of Science in Management is targeted towards four-year Business and Commerce graduates looking to enhance their career standing by taking coursework focused on theoretical and conceptual components of the business discipline.
  2. The Master of Business Administration degree targets graduates with with a business and non business background.  The MBA program provides students with analytical decision-making and communication skills and expands their knowledge of effective management practice

Each program has been designed to meet the educational needs of a wide variety of people.  The first two years of the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program reflect an underlying belief that effective management and administrative practices are essential in an increasingly complex and changing society.  The central objective of both programs is to prepare participants to more effectively deal with this complexity and change.  Hence, the Faculty places substantial emphasis on recent developments and techniques and focuses on the future.  Using a varied mix of teaching techniques including the case study method, computer games and simulations, reading seminars, group project work, role-playing, and traditional text and lecture methods, participants are exposed to learning situations which increase both their analytical skills and their flexibility in decision-making.
