Welcome to the Business & Administration Department
We offer students
a solid foundation of business and management principles, including the
fundamentals of accounting, human resources, marketing, strategy and
operations management. We pride ourselves on small class sizes, integrated and innovative teaching and learning styles, and helping students develop business-related skills.
Chair’s Message
Welcome! It’s an exciting time here of expansion and transformation. We’re one of the fastest growing Departments in terms of students and faculty across the University. Maintaining our reputation for teaching excellence across a dynamic range of courses in administration and management continues as a key priority. In the classroom, we search for ways to think critically about current approaches, identify issues, and solve problems. We encourage you to check out the courses and programs that make up our BBA degrees -- the 4-year BBA, Concentration or General Stream, the 3-year BBA, or our specialized 4-year BBA in Economics and Finance.
Expanding our research capacity and profile is also a priority. Check out latest accomplishments in our Department News section, such as the Department’s Research Excellence Award (2011) from the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada along with faculty members’ national research grants and outstanding journal publications. Together, these successes support synergies in research and teaching, making it even easier to bring the latest scientific evidence on management and organizations into the classroom.
In these endeavours, we value collaboration, respect, and stimulating exchange of ideas. For prospective faculty and students, we offer a healthy, engaging environment with meaningful opportunities to advance our teaching and research while contributing to governance and service in the Department. We apply research-based best practice approaches for a climate of continuous improvement and creativity to support change.
There’s no better time to go Beyond Business!
