Requirements
Admission Requirements: This programme page states no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to select 'Business' in UNB's general admission requirements tool. For domestic (Canadian) applicants, the admission average is the overall average of Grade 12 academic (New Brunswick level 2) university-preparatory courses required for the program, with level 1, French Immersion and advanced courses accepted as substitutes; meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission. International applicants follow the same program-specific course and average requirements, and Business is one of the programs requiring an overall B average in the required subjects; applicants with prior post-secondary study outside Canada or the United States must submit a WES ICAP course-by-course evaluation. All international applicants must also meet UNB's English-language requirement unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, TOEFL iBT 85 overall (tests before 2026) or 4.5 overall with at least 4.5 in Speaking and Writing (January 2026 onward), CAEL 60, Pearson PTE Academic 59, Cambridge English 176, or Duolingo English Test 115.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply through UNB's own application portal by the same published dates: for Fall 2027 entry the general deadline is 31 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry it is 15 November 2026, with undergraduate scholarship applications due 1 March 2027. UNB continues to accept applications after these dates while seats remain in the program, so admission is effectively rolling once the deadline passes. UNB publishes no international-specific deadline distinct from these dates. Limited-enrolment programmes close earlier: the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education (Fredericton) close 1 December 2026, and the Bachelor of Nursing closes 15 February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
