Bachelor of Business Administration
for Trades Management
Careers in the trades often lead to managerial and/or ownership positions,
yet few trades people have the opportunity to academically prepare themselves
with the skills required to own and operate their own business. This program
provides individuals with the ability to leverage their prior learning (Trade
Certificate) and to augment prior learning with the fundamentals of business
management theories and practices. The objective is to produce graduate students
who are equipped to successfully function as managers and owners of a trade
related business in today’s rapidly changing global environment.
Entrance requirements
1. 5 years work experience.
2. Provincial Certificate of Qualification or inter-provincial certificate of
qualification in a trade, held for at least one year.
Note: applicants who do not meet the certification requirement
may be considered for admission; contact the department for more information.
3. 500 word essay:
• Why do you want to obtain a BBA?
• What kinds of life/work experiences have you had that
have contributed to this decision?
• What experiences have you had that prepare you for the BBA?
4. Interview.
Note: Students must meet the prerequisites, as listed in the
calendar, for ENGL 105. For details on satisfying the English language policy, see English language policy 340.29.
