Dalhousie University offers BA/BS in Small Business Management, a bachelor's degree in Entrepreneurship programme in Halifax, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 30,906 per year (CAD 9,570 per year for local students).
Small Business Management (BTech) is a two-year bachelor's degree at Dalhousie's Truro and Bible Hill campus designed as an extension of an existing two-year technical or technology diploma, with intake in September. Admission requires holding the equivalent of a two-year technology or technical diploma from a recognized institution. The curriculum applies business concepts to workplace and industry situations, building on the technical training students already hold, and includes courses in marketing, financial accounting, human resource management, financial management, advanced entrepreneurship, and strategic management. The program suits diploma holders who want to convert existing technical credentials into a full bachelor's degree in a short timeframe while developing business and management capabilities. Graduates pursue roles such as business owner, consultant, project manager, hiring manager, or sales representative, and the degree can also serve as a foundation for further graduate study in business or management.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Small Business Management (BTech) page admits from a completed two-year technology/technical diploma from a recognized college, university, or similar institution, plus completion of Grade 12 English (or an equivalent course). Applicants holding a non-business diploma must additionally have an overall average of at least 70% in that diploma; the page does not state a separate average for business-diploma holders. No language-test score is published; international applicants are subject to Dalhousie's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, unless exempt. No portfolio or interview is stated. The programme begins in September.
