Business Studies (Minor, Cert)
Why study Business Studies?
The Business Studies program gives students a general foundation of business knowledge and practices, such as accounting, organizational behaviour, marketing, market analysis and operations management.
The Certificate in Business Studies is designed for students who want to advance their career but are not currently enrolled in a traditional BComm or BAdmin degree program.
The Minor in Business Studies is available to students in all faculties except the John Molson School of Business.
