Bachelor of Business Administration (Trades Management)(Honours)

The Bachelor of Business Administration (Trades Management) (Honours) is a four-year honours degree offered by Mohawk College in partnership with Algonquin College and George Brown College. It is designed as a degree-completion pathway for people who already hold trades credentials, such as apprenticeship or journeyperson certification, or a trades-related college diploma, who want to move into supervisory or management roles within the skilled trades sector. Admission is assessed individually against the applicant's trades background, and successful candidates typically receive credit toward the early semesters of the degree, with some required to complete bridging courses depending on their prior education. The program offers four pre-mapped pathways, Building Renovation Technology, Business - Trades, Electrician, and Motive Power Technician, so coursework builds on a student's specific trade. Later semesters are delivered through self-paced online study, letting students continue working while completing the degree. Coursework covers business administration, accounting, project management, leadership, communication, and applied research as they apply to trades-based organizations. The program suits experienced tradespeople seeking a formal business qualification to support advancement into management without leaving the workforce.
