Business Studies & Co-operative Education

The program in business studies offers a variety of courses to help students understand the world of business and to focus their interest in this area. There are courses that introduce
students to the multifaceted world of business and courses that will help students develop their skills in applying current technological tools to business activities. Students can also select courses in entrepreneurship to learn about the creation and operation of a small business or how to develop and apply enterprising skills as employees. They will also be able to choose courses that focus on the key skills and concepts of accounting and marketing, or courses that will develop their understanding of the nature of business organizations and the ways in which businesses are structured and managed to achieve organizational goals. Finally, in courses in international business, students will learn about opportunities that lie beyond our borders, and will explore the business relationships that the Canadian government and Canadian companies have established with other nations.

The design of the business studies program will enable students to select courses that
relate to their interests and that prepare them for further study or work in a field of their choosing. Whether students eventually work in the business world or simply use the services of business, the business studies program will provide them with a foundation for making effective choices and decisions.
