Section 2. Interest in a Business Degree<br />

Interest in a Business Degree and Preference for PSE Institution<br />

Of the Alumni (those who have not obtained a degree or are not currently in a degree or post‐graduate<br />

certificate) who were asked if they would consider the option <strong>of</strong> applying for a business or businessrelated<br />

degree either at a college or a university in the next three years, 73% said “yes”. However, taking<br />

into account that 22% <strong>of</strong> those saying “yes” are not strongly considering college or university for a<br />

business degree, it’s likely that only approximately 57% <strong>of</strong> Alumni are seriously considering a business<br />

degree in the next three years. A majority <strong>of</strong> Alumni (68%) are considering university (34% are<br />

considering university only) for a business degree, while 43% are considering college (9% are considering<br />

college only).<br />

Chart 6 and 7. Considering a Business Degree and PSE Preference<br />

PSE Considerations for a Business Degree<br />

Alumni were asked which PSE institutions they were considering (up to three selections). Athabasca<br />

University in Alberta (16%) and the University <strong>of</strong> Western Ontario (16%) are among the top institutions<br />

cited for Alumni considering applying to a degree program in business. Fanshawe College (13%) ranks<br />

third among top mentions, along with Richard Ivey School <strong>of</strong> Business at UWO (13%).<br />
