Business Studies

Business is an integral part of every young adult’s future. It influences their careers, incomes and opportunities for personal enterprise. Business has a significant effect on the standard of living and the quality of life of Canadians, while having a growing impact on the environment in which they live. Young adults must be prepared to engage in business activities with confidence and competence, both nationally and internationally.

Students who pursue a business education will develop an understanding of how business functions, the role it plays in society and the opportunities it generates. Business studies creates a strong foundation for those who wish to train in specialized areas such as management, international business, marketing, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship and information & communication technology, whether through practical applications in the workplace or in postsecondary education.
