Program details

Overview

International Business is a concentration within Carleton University's Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), giving students an appreciation of the global business environment along with a foundation in international finance, marketing and global expansion strategy, and the interpersonal skills to manage in diverse contexts. Students gain first-hand international experience through practica and study-abroad opportunities. Sample courses include Introduction to Business and International Business Negotiations. All BCom students complete Sprott's Employability Passport, a four-year career development program that builds job-ready skills and self-awareness for meaningful employment, and a co-op option is available for students to test career paths and organizations, build a professional network and resume, and earn money to offset costs. Based on surveys of 2020-2022 graduates, 92 per cent of BCom respondents were employed within one year of graduation. Sample career paths include international business, international trade, diplomacy and international development.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours), including its Accounting, Business Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, International Business, Management, and Marketing concentrations, requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent with six Grade 12 U or M courses. These must include 4U English, Advanced Functions, and either Calculus and Vectors or Mathematics of Data Management, with Calculus and Vectors preferred. Applicants who submit an English-language proficiency test may use it to also satisfy the 4U English prerequisite. Students do not choose a concentration until after first year, so all concentrations share this first-year entry standard. Advanced standing to second year or beyond normally requires an overall CGPA of 9.00 (B+) or higher. Direct entry to the co-op option additionally requires meeting the program's overall and prerequisite-course cut-off averages, full-time registration in the Honours program, and eligibility to work in Canada. Admission averages are set each year on a program-by-program basis and the minimum only establishes eligibility for consideration.
