Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Business & Society, offered by the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies at the Keele Campus. Students examine the connections between business, government and society, taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines economics, politics and social sciences to study issues such as inequality, sustainability and global development. The curriculum allows students to focus coursework on areas including corporate social responsibility and environmental issues. Entry is available in the fall, winter and summer terms for both first-year and upper-year students. The program suits students who want a business-adjacent degree grounded in the social sciences rather than a professional business credential, preparing graduates for roles that bridge private-sector, government and non-profit work.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need ENG4U and five additional 4U or M courses; academic averages for most Canadian provinces should be in the low-to-mid 70s, with a final average of 70% typically required to maintain an offer. International Baccalaureate applicants need a minimum IB diploma score of 28 points. Unless exempt, applicants must meet York's general undergraduate English proficiency minimums: IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 88, PTE Academic 60, Duolingo 120, or CAEL 60.
