Major in International Business [Business]

Description of Field

The Faculty of Business recognizes the importance of providing an international perspective to the BCom program and is therefore committed to designing courses, programs, seminars and conferences through our Centre of International Business Studies. This major allows students to customize their program by choosing a particular country and language and then adding International Business courses, as well as courses in culture, history, economics, and other areas.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of this program will present a unique degree that enables career development in all areas of international business in Canada and abroad. The combination of business, language and cultural courses creates graduates with a flexible and broad view of the international trading community. Students in this major should consider a student exchange as part of their experience.
