Honour Business Administration

No other undergraduate business program provides you with the opportunity to explore as many different career paths as the Ivey HBA.

Unlike traditional business schools that expect you to choose a specialization early on, the 2+2 program structure of the Ivey HBA offers you the freedom to explore your academic interests before choosing your career options. In your first two years, you can study in any faculty or program. This opportunity to gain new life experiences ensures that you and your HBA classmates bring diverse and more seasoned perspectives to your business education.

Your first year in the Ivey HBA Program (HBA 1) is typically your third year of university. You work with the same classmates, in the same classroom, with a dedicated faculty team. You cover the essentials of what every good manager needs to know and be able to do. Career management is also built into the curriculum to help you define your career goals and develop job search strategies to get you there.

In your second year at Ivey (HBA 2) you build strength from the foundational business knowledge and skills developed during your first year. A wide range of elective courses in HBA 2 allows you to design a personalized program of study to round out your business management education and complement your career objectives.

Ivey is one of a select few undergraduate business programs committed to the case-method of learning. You won’t just listen to lectures and take notes. You will experience more than 400 real-world business cases during your time at Ivey.
