Courses & Programs
Let’s get down to business!
Each course aims at providing real-life assignments that enable students to build practical competencies and enrich their curriculum vitae
The B.B.A. offers the most in-depth approach to business studies. B.B.A. students can also choose among seven concentrations and among six minors to develop complementary knowledge and competencies.
Concentrations
This program is ideal for students who wish to combine their business studies with a different subject. The program structure allows for a second major or two minors, which give ample room for a student to embrace the richness of a liberal education.
Get a solid and rich liberal education
Three programs are offered in collaboration with other departments in order to enrich the student experience and better prepare them for the workplace. Students get the best of two worlds!
Adding a minor to your degree can help you explore a different area of interest, broaden your skills, and enrich your academic program at Bishop’s University!
Minors available to all students:
- Business Administration
- Business Technology and Analytics
- Entrepreneurship
- Finance
- Human Resources
- International Business
- Marketing
The Certificate in Business Administration is of interest to students who don’t wish to do the whole B.B.A. or who want to test their capabilities and interests before applying to the B.B.A. It may be completed on a full-time or a part-time basis.
Academically, socially and personally, a lot of my growth is thanks to this amazing school.
We learned how to deal with the unexpected, adapt to change and keep moving forward. BU has provided us with the required tools to succeed and prepared us to face upcoming challenges to solve global issues.
Bishop’s University teaches you quite a few things. It teaches you to always keep an open mind when immersing yourself in a new culture. It also teaches you to view any situation from different perspectives and respect other people’s opinions.
Academic Advising
Academic advising is a key component of academic success. We encourage you to seek academic advising as early as possible for guidance relating to your business program requirements, for help with program planning and course selection. We are here to support you from the time of your admission to your graduation!
Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries
We provide endowed scholarships, awards, bursaries, grants and financial aid thanks to the generous support of students, alumni, faculty, staff, foundations, corporations and private donors. We encourage you to take a look at the funding opportunities available to Business students.
Small Class Sizes
Small classes are a great environment in which to learn, with easy access to faculty who are committed to your success. It also means you have greater access to activities like case competitions, research projects, and exchanges.
Campus Life & Community
We are a safe and welcoming campus, based in a caring community, yet only 1,5 hours away from the bustle of Montreal. An exceptional social environment, Bishop’s was voted #1 for extracurricular activities.
