Humber's Business Administration Co-op program is designed so students earn while they learn. It's offered in a co-operative education mode at our beautiful Lakeshore Campus, with two work semesters where students gain valuable business experience, develop a network of contacts in the business world, and try out different types of jobs before making a major commitment. Five business elective courses offer program flexibility and the opportunity to specialize. Employer awareness of the particularly high standards required of Humber's students translates into enhanced career opportunities. The Business Administration Co-op program is also a stepping stone to university due to the excellent transfer agreements Humber has with numerous colleges and universities.
Students are responsible for finding suitable paid co-op work placements, with support from an employment placement advisor. WORK 101 is taken in semester two to prepare. Co-op work placements are in the summer after semesters two and four. Each work term is normally 15 weeks (12 weeks mandatory).
The Business Administration program can also prepare students to pursue industry designations and professional certifications in addition to their diploma, should they choose to do so. The industry designations/certifications may require further courses, additional exams, related work experience and additional fees to qualify. Visit the official websites listed below to determine the detailed requirements set by the granting bodies of these associations.
