Simon Fraser University's Geo Business joint major combines geographic information science with business studies, letting students explore spatial analysis, social responsibility, and economic policy alongside business management. Graduates choose between a Bachelor of Arts from the Faculty of Environment or a Bachelor of Business Administration from the Beedie School of Business, and the degree requires 120 units drawn from both disciplines. Entry to the joint major requires qualifying separately for admission to the Beedie School of Business in addition to acceptance as a joint major within the Faculty of Environment; Beedie admission is competitive, requires a supplemental application assessing extracurricular experience, short-answer responses, video interviews, and academic references, and does not guarantee admission based on minimum grades alone. Once admitted, a minimum 2.30 SFU Business course grade point average is required to enter 300- and 400-division business courses and to graduate from the program. The program suits students interested in applying geographic analysis tools within a business and policy context.
