Business Administration
 

Canadore’s three-year Business Administration program will help you develop a broad range of business and administrative skills required to excel in a business environment. Discuss and study the essential concepts and elements of management with emphasis on effective problem-solving and decision-making skills. Study accounting, human resources, business policy and marketing by examining and evaluating various styles, functions, processes and patterns of management.

Case studies, work projects, seminars and skill development sessions will be used to examine and exchange ideas as well as develop interpersonal skills. Emphasis is placed on work placement in the final semester so that you may gain experience in a relevant field. With the successful completion of five semesters, students may be eligible for Canadore’s Human Resources Certificate in accordance with HRPAO guidelines.

Business programs have a common first semester. If you wish to change to another Business program, you may do so after the first semester.
