EARLY ENTRY

— Applicants who lack the admission requirements
may still gain admission to the program through
a multi-level entry system which allows students
to take a combination of business and upgrading
courses in the first year.

— This mode of entry may extend the duration of the
program accordingly as not all courses are offered
every term.

Part-Time Studies

Tf a full-time program doesn’t work for you, contact
the Program Advisor to discuss how to meet program
requirements in the time that you do have.

Typically, a full-time student completes this program
in four semesters by taking five to six courses per
semester. With careful planning, you can complete
the program in six semesters by taking three to four
courses per semester. You can, however, take as little
as one course per semester if that is all that will work
for you. If you are accessing government student
loans, make sure that you are taking the minimum
number of courses to remain eligible for funding.

Most Business Administration courses are offered
once per year. We will work with you to plana
pathway through the course offerings to match them
with your interests and goals, educational level, and
available time.
