Specifics of College Business Degree Programs (Appendix B)
Appendix A includes a comparison chart of the details of each program (from publicly available
information). The number of courses required for completion of the degree programs varies from 39
courses at Sheridan College and 40 courses at Humber College and Niagara College, to 48 courses at
Seneca College and 49 courses at George Brown, depending on the program. The number of class hours
to graduate ranges from 120 hours at Humber College and Sheridan College to 187 class hours at
Conestoga College in the International Business Management program.
While online distance education courses are listed for business courses in many colleges, most of the
college websites do not clearly indicate whether there is an option for completing a business degree
online or part‐time with the exception of Algonquin College (courses are offered with hybrid delivery or
entirely online) and St. Lawrence College (part‐time degree option).
Most degree programs offered have mandatory co‐op programs (except St Lawrence College, which is
optional). Nine out of fifteen programs require only one co‐op term. The maximum number of co‐op
terms is three required by Conestoga College in its BAB programs and Algonquin College (e‐Business
Supply Chain Management).
All program start dates begin in the fall term; George Brown College and Seneca College also offer
winter term enrollment.
Only two colleges indicate the offering of an articulation with university graduate programs. Niagara
College holds agreements with Niagara University, Skyline University (UAE) and Davenport University for
articulation into MBA programs with its International Commerce and Global Development degree
program. It also holds an articulation agreement with Forum International Trade Training (FITT) (fulfills
requirements for all 8 FITT skills courses). Its Hospitality and Food Management program has articulation
MBA agreements with Davenport University, Niagara University and the International Hospitality
Management program at IMI International Hotel Management Institute in Switzerland. George Brown’s
Hospitality Operations Management (joint program with GBC) holds articulation agreements with
Niagara University, University of Guelph and IMI Institute.
