Hons in Business & Liberal Studies (BBA, Hons) at University of Guelph-Humber in Etobicoke, Canada is a honours degree in Business Administration programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 39,141 per year (CAD 8,681 per year for local students).
This program at the University of Guelph-Humber combines an Honours Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Guelph with a Diploma in General Arts & Science from Humber Polytechnic, delivered full-time on the Toronto campus over four years. The curriculum pairs core business topics — finance, accounting, marketing, strategy, leadership, statistics, business law, and ethics — with liberal-studies coursework in cultural analysis, ethical communication, and systems thinking, including dedicated liberal-studies studio courses. Students complete a work-placement component, often with non-profits, social enterprises, consulting firms, sustainability offices, corporate social responsibility departments, or policy agencies, and finish with a capstone project in their final year that draws together business and liberal-studies learning. The program suits students who want a business degree with a broader grounding in politics, culture, global affairs, or sustainability, rather than a purely business-focused course of study. It is aimed at those seeking adaptable, cross-disciplinary preparation for roles spanning conventional business functions and mission-driven or public-interest organizations.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six Grade 12 U/M courses — ENG4U (or an equivalent such as EAE4U), any Grade 12 U mathematics course, and four further 4U/M credits — with a minimum admission average above 70%. Out-of-province, transfer, mature, home-schooled and international applicants each follow their own published pathway. The programme page sets no language score of its own, so the University of Guelph-Humber's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirements apply: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT total 89 with no section below 21, PTE Academic overall 60 with no component below 60, CAEL overall 70, or Duolingo English Test overall 110, all under two years old. The programme builds in 100 hours of required work placement, but states no portfolio or interview condition for admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For current Ontario or other-Canadian-province secondary-school applicants (OSSD/equivalent completing 2026-27), Fall 2027 OUAC applications open in September 2026 and close June 1, 2027, with U of GH's own supplementary application due April 1, 2027, decisions released by May 28, 2027, and offers to be accepted by June 1, 2027. The international-applicant and 'already graduated domestic' pages have not been updated to this cycle: they still show the passed Winter 2026 (November 1, 2025) and Fall 2026 (May 1, 2026) deadlines, with no Fall 2027 or Winter 2027 date yet published for either group. Admission is otherwise handled on a rolling basis once conditions are met. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
