Welcome to the Business Department!
Businesses play a huge role in culture and society in general. They not only take up the most amount of time in most people's lives, but they also help create innovations and make important technological advancements. In actuality, society itself would hardly exist as you know it if it weren't for businesses.
Your passion may be making videos, designing buildings, or playing basketball. Whatever your skillset and interests, there’s a business side to the equation! Think about it! Business is part of the language we use when we talk about the entertainment industry, project financing, and sports marketing. Everything has a “business” side to it — every industry needs accountants, marketers, managers, financial analysts, and technology support staff... in other words, business students! Parents, students, and even educators have the assumption that business studies are only for those interested in pursuing a career in the field of business. But this way of thinking is wrong, and the knowledge and skills that you will gain from studying business can be used in any field, any industry, and in any job!
Business as a field of study is very practical. It is the study of applying ideas to create or add value to a product or service in order to generate a profit. Business students learn how to research information using quantitative skills, and then develop ideas based on that information to solve problems. Our courses teach you the skills that you'll need to be successful in post-secondary and beyond!
