Algonquin College offers Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) (Honours), a bachelor's degree in Business Administration programme in Ottawa, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 9,948 per semester (CAD 3,481 per semester for local students).
The four-year Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing builds a broad grounding in business before turning to how organisations reach and retain customers. The opening two years cover finance, economics, human resources, law and operations, giving a picture of how a company functions and where marketing fits within it.
Later study shifts to developing and applying marketing strategies, using data to shape recommendations and evaluating tools such as social media, mobile platforms and websites to build brands across local and international markets. Ethical questions around privacy and security are considered alongside these digital methods. Three co-op work terms and real-world industry projects in the third and fourth years give students exposure to case studies and team-based work with industry professionals, along with workshops on customer relationship management and social media management tools.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need six Grade 12 university (U) or university/college (M) courses with a minimum 65% average, including one Grade 12 U English course at 60% or higher and one Grade 12 U Mathematics course at 60% or higher; an OSSD or equivalent is required, with the standard mature-student route otherwise. International transcripts must document the same English and Mathematics prerequisites and, where required, prove English proficiency: Academic IELTS overall 6.5 with no band under 6.0, or TOEFL iBT overall 88 with 22 in every component (pre-21-January-2026 tests) or the 4.5-scale equivalent with 4.5 per component (tests after that date), or a Duolingo score of 120 overall with 120 in Literacy and nothing below 105. Domestic applicants with international transcripts must have them assessed by ICAS or WES.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for September 2027 entry the application portal opens 26 September 2026, the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers must be accepted by 1 May 2027, while later applications are still assessed as space allows; Algonquin publishes no separate equal-consideration date for the January 2027 intake. International applicants apply directly via Algonquin's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; instead of one fixed date the college posts a program-by-program closing-date list shortly before each term starts - for Fall 2026 most programs closed 16 September 2026, technology programs by 9-10 September; no Winter 2027 or Fall 2027 international list has been posted yet, so admission remains effectively rolling until each list is published and fills. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
