Grenfell Campus offers a 120-credit hour (40 course) undergraduate degree program in business administration (honours option available), and an 18-credit hour (6 course) certificate program in entrepreneurship that may be completed on its own, or as a part of other studies. To be admitted to either of these programs, students should select the appropriate program option (Bachelor of Business Administration or Certificate in Entrepreneurship) on their undergraduate application for admission.

Students completing other degree programs at Grenfell may also choose to complete a 24-credit hour (8 course) business minor.

Whether you're uncertain of what your future profession will look like, or you can envision a crystal-clear career path, studying business administration will challenge you to critically consider how organizations and the people within them influence every part of our society—from our places of work, to local shops, community groups, government agencies, and global enterprises, our personal and professional lives intersect with organizations in countless ways.

When you study with Grenfell Business, you will enjoy small class sizes, flexible study options, and personalized learning approaches that go beyond typical promises, fostering a spirit of curiosity, connection, and community. Join us to build and hone your understanding and ability to be a more engaged and effective participant in the organizations and communities in your own life.

In your application for general admission to the university, you should indicate “Grenfell Campus” as your campus of study, and “Business Administration” as your program.

Sample first year

Each student follows their own individual learning path through their degree programs, so it is important that students work with an academic advisor to ensure they are selecting suitable courses and making appropriate course load decisions; students may complete up to 15 credit hours (5 courses) per semester.

Below is a sample plan based on recommended first-year courses for the bachelor of business administration:

1. or an additional three credit hours in English at the 1000 level
   
   
2. Selection of a mathematics course depends on a student’s background and ability. Students should refer to the math course criteria chart prior to selecting their first-semester course. Students choosing to complete Mathematics 1000 may be required to complete Mathematics 1090 as a prerequisite, so Mathematics 1090 should be completed as one of the non-business electives.
