The option in international management is designed to help students develop an understanding of the distinctive problems that arise in international business and to develop strategic decision-making skills in relation to those problems. Students also have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in a particular area of international management.
Compulsory courses study the global business environment, including general concepts and international institutional framework, as well as the development and implementation of policies and strategies by multinational corporations. Students should note that these concepts are examined from the perspective of Canadian corporations. Students also have the opportunity to begin learning a third language (other than English and French).
Students in the International Management option must complete at least 12 of the 120-unit program requirement abroad as part of an international exchange with one of the Telfer School of Management's international partner institutions.
This program is offered in English and in French. Students are encouraged to learn a third language.
Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Science Management (Research Project) Pathway
This exciting integrated accelerated bachelor’s/master’s program allows students to earn two degrees in five years. Designed for students with a strong academic record and a keen interest in conducting business research, this integrated program enables select undergraduate students to get a jump-start in their project-based master’s program by completing two graduate courses during their last year of the undergraduate degree, and starting their research project in a familiar environment over the summer bridge term between the bachelor’s and master’s programs. This integrated program focuses on empowering students to develop their business acumen and research skills in a specialized field of study, and to contribute towards smarter decisions about policy and practice in creating a better Canada.
