Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Business Administration in General Management is a four-year degree giving students a broad view across business sectors while developing critical thinking, strategic planning and leadership skills that apply across industries rather than a single specialty. Students complete 16 core courses covering foundational business knowledge and then choose from three concentrations: Indigenous Business and Economic Development, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, or Social Innovation, each shaping the direction of later coursework. The program includes work-integrated learning through co-op placements and applied projects that build practical management skills, an Honours stream for students wanting a research focus, and study abroad or field school options for a global business perspective. It suits students seeking flexibility in their career path, whether toward entrepreneurship, leadership roles across disciplines, or work in corporate, non-profit, startup or public sector settings after graduation.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school requires five Grade 12 courses, including English Language Arts 30-1 (minimum 60%) and Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2 (minimum 60%), plus three further courses from Groups A, B or C. Applicants may also qualify through successful completion of a two-year business diploma, applied degree, or four-year baccalaureate from an accredited post-secondary institution. Post-secondary transfer applicants are assessed on GPA, which varies by program, and mature applicants need at least two Grade 12 courses, with some programs requiring more. Applicants whose first language is not English must complete any English course required for the program and meet Mount Royal's institution-wide English Language Proficiency requirement, met by, among other options, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with at least 5.5 per band, TOEFL iBT 86 overall with at least 20 per section (4.5 overall with at least 4.0 per band for tests taken from January 21, 2026), PTE Academic 58 with at least 55 per area, CAEL 70 with at least 60 per band, or Duolingo English Test 120. The Fall 2026 early admission period ran October 1, 2025 to February 1, 2026, with ongoing admission based on program space from February 2, 2026.
