Program details
Overview
Entrepreneurship at St. Francis Xavier University is a Bachelor of Business Administration offered through the Gerald Schwartz School of Business, delivered in person on the Antigonish, Nova Scotia campus. Students complete core business courses in their first two years alongside specialized entrepreneurship coursework, with hands-on learning built around pitch competitions, venture plan development, and collaboration with the DiscoverBox innovation centre and the Enactus student society. Curriculum covers venture evaluation and the analysis of desirability, feasibility, and viability, alongside the skills needed to launch and grow a venture, supported by mentorship from alumni and faculty. The program suits students interested in launching startups or social enterprises, as well as those planning careers in small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses, or government agencies that support SMEs, and who want to develop creativity, problem solving, and communication skills. A dual-degree pathway combining the BBA in Entrepreneurship with a BSc in Human Nutrition is available. Career paths include financial advising, roles with government agencies such as ACOA or community business development corporations, venture capital, startup support agencies, and the Venture for Canada internship program.
