Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Business Administration provides an integrated business education spanning accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour, business law, and strategy, alongside development of critical thinking, quantitative analysis, and communication skills. Students take a shared core of business courses before choosing a specialization to concentrate their later studies, and may pursue an honours route that adds a supervised thesis component. A co-operative education option is available, alternating academic terms with paid work placements in industry. The program is delivered full-time and in person at UPEI's Don and Marion McDougall Hall in Charlottetown. It suits students aiming for careers in management, finance, marketing, or entrepreneurship across corporate, government, and non-profit settings, and who want a broad functional grounding in business before specializing, with the option to gain work experience through co-op before graduating.

Admission Requirements: High-school applicants need an overall average of at least 70% (75% for Quebec Secondary V students) across Grade 12 English, Mathematics, any two of Social Studies/Languages/Sciences, and one other academic course; the programme page refers applicants to the UPEI Academic Calendar's high-school admission chapter for the full subject list and to the Canadian High School Equivalency Chart for non-Canadian credentials. The page does not itself publish English-language test scores, but as a Business programme it falls under UPEI's general undergraduate English Language Proficiency Requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL PBT 550 with a TWE of 5.5, TOEFL Essentials 8.5 with no score below 8.0, CAEL 60, Pearson Test of English 58, Cambridge 176 overall with no skill below 169, Duolingo 120 with subscores of at least 115, or Oxford ELLT 7 with no component below 6.
Application Details
Application Deadline:UPEI has no shared provincial application service; domestic and international applicants both apply directly through the UPEI Application Portal, and most undergraduate programs (Arts, Science, Business) carry no fixed institution-wide closing date, with applications for the 2027 entry cycle assessed on a rolling basis until seats fill. Several professional programs set their own hard dates instead: for example the Bachelor of Education uses an October 15, 2026 priority-review deadline with rolling admission after. UPEI states that deadlines for non-competitive undergraduate programs are set yearly for international applicants rather than published as a fixed date, and directs applicants to email [email protected]; overall, admission across most programs is rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
