Graduating high school students looking for a smart choice when it comes to the next phase of their education have an affordable option, with strong career support and high-quality resources, that will take them from university into the business world.
Located in Toronto’s downtown core, International Business University (IBU) is offering a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) program for Grade 12 graduates. Its high-quality business education is based on market demand to ensure the employability of its graduates.
What makes IBU’s Bachelor of Commerce degree program a smart choice for students and their parents is that it provides a firm foundation in business-related fields. The degree includes the option of three program specializations: International Management and Technology, Business Management, and Digital Sales and Marketing Management.
Using business intelligence, mixed with the most relevant technologies, students at IBU will develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours that employers are looking for today.
During the eight-semester program that takes place over 32 months, students will be able to apply both their knowledge and interpersonal skills in integrated projects alongside a capstone course incorporated into the curriculum.
The program also helps open doors by providing access to a robust network of industry leaders, distinguished faculty and accomplished peers, fostering valuable connections and opportunities while its students are at IBU and after they graduate.
Moreover, IBU students are able to build their confidence in the business world thanks to the university’s teaching-oriented and student-focused approach. This is due to the university’s small class sizes that allow for personalized attention that fosters discovery and grows the individual strengths of each student.
Students at IBU benefit from access to the Bloomberg Finance Lab — online learning materials that provide students with an opportunity to engage with real-time financial news and data, case studies, in-depth research tools and advanced analytics used by professionals in the global financial markets.
IBU has also embedded sustainability into its core curriculum and established the Centre for Sustainable Business for its students to foster education, research and industry collaboration in this critical field.
Conceptualized in 2014 by Ontario academic and business leaders to create a not-for-profit university focused on global perspectives for Canadian business needs, IBU was accredited by the Government of Ontario in December of 2020. Along with its campus located in downtown Toronto, it also offers online MBA programs.
IBU has been granted consent by Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities to offer these degree programs for seven-year terms. The consent for its Bachelor of Commerce in International Management and Technology program began Sept. 4, 2020, while consent for its Bachelor of Commerce program with specializations in Business Management and in Digital Sales and Marketing Management began Sept. 7, 2023.
Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the program and the degree will be appropriate to their needs and acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies or other educational institutions they may be considering attending.
