York University’s Schulich School of Business offers a robust full time Business program. Its BBA program is a combination of liberal arts with a healthy management education. This program will prepare any student to think critically and analyze problems in various perspectives while improving their communication and time management skills. Raj Malholtra an International student from India had this to say about Schulich:
“I was hesitant at first about applying to Schulich simply because Canada has so many other amazing Business schools including
Laurier, University of Toronto, Western and countless others, I decided on Schulich because it allowed me to stay with my relatives in Toronto so I didn’t have to pay for housing. My experience has been phenomenal, the learning begins the second you arrive on campus and the culture is very competitive. So far I have enjoyed my first year and have been exposed to History, ethics, social responsibility in business. I am looking forward to my second year.”
In the 3rd and 4th years of York-Schulich’s Business program, students have the opportunity to specialize in a field of their choice – this inclides economics, accounting, finance, international business, operations, marketing and many more.
