The Indigenous Business Administration Certificate (IBAC) is a two-year direct-entry program for Métis, First Nation, and Inuit students. The certificate is a gradual step towards a successful career in business with an option to transfer into the B.Comm. degree program upon completion. IBAC is designed to provide programming for Indigenous students who wish to obtain a certificate in business but who do not want to study in a four-year degree program or who do not meet the admission criteria for direct or transfer admission to the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.) degree program. It provides students with an introduction to business including courses in accounting, marketing, finance, and human resource management and also incorporates significant student success activities. Upon successful completion, students may choose to apply to the B.Comm. degree program during the regular application period. In your first year, you'll take fewer courses than normal as you get familiar with campus life. In your second year, with permission from an advisor, you'll be able to take a full courseload of five classes per term. * You'll have a number of courses to choose between English, Social Sciences, or Humanities for this course. The Course and Program Catalogue has the complete and official listing of required classes and their descriptions for this program.
