About

Overview

This is a unique course for students who are looking for a truly global learning experience. The skills and knowledge that you’ll develop on the BA in Global Business (Canada) are a passport to an international career in business.

The BA in Global Business (Canada) combines international business with intercultural experience and work placements.
