Overview
The Business Administration concentration is a three-year, 90-credit Bachelor of Arts program at Ambrose University, also available as a four-year, 120-credit degree, combining business study with a liberal arts foundation. It is recommended for students who plan to continue their studies after graduating. Coursework covers management preparation, information technology applications in business, strategic thinking, and communication, with courses such as business ethics and sustainability, organizational behaviour, and data analysis for business. As with the BBA, students select from four specialization streams: Accounting (CPA Canada accredited), Business Intelligence and Analytics, Human Resources and Organizational Development (CPHR Alberta accredited), or Marketing. Experiential elements include industry events, lunch-and-learn sessions, case competitions, guest speakers, mentorship opportunities, and international travel for case studies and community development research. Graduates have moved into roles such as sales and marketing manager, project manager, business analyst, human resource officer, accountant, and sustainability consultant. Admission requires Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 with a grade of 60% or higher.
