Who Attends

  • Post-secondary graduates in fields outside of business who are looking to add a specialization to their resume
  • Early career professionals and new/aspiring managers
  • Professionals who want to develop foundational business administration and project management skills
  • Professionals interested in future leadership roles within their organization
  • International students interested in gaining a Canadian perspective on business administration or management

Hybrid Program

Always an industry leader, starting in May 2022, this PACE program will incorporates a number of online courses (virtual online classroom) into the schedule. Approximately three of the ~18 courses in this full-time program will be delivered remotely in our online classrooms.

Spread throughout the program schedule are online courses, so that students continue to connect with their classmates and instructors in the classroom on a regular basis, while adding flexibility. This hybrid program provides our students more latitude in managing their school-life balance. Students are still able to access study spaces and lounges on campus if they wish on those days, or they can skip their commute entirely and complete their coursework from home, or wherever they choose.

This additional flexibility in program schedules helps students develop critical skills for the modern workplace such as using collaborative tools, listening, accountability, and adaptability, while maintaining all the benefits of in-person studies.

The hybrid programming does not impact PGWP eligibility.
