The Administrative Studies major within the Honours Bachelor of Commerce Program, available at Lakehead University's Orillia campus, has been established to provide students with a unique sequence of business and non-business studies leading to the Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree.
Pre-Business Studies Component - Years 1 and 2
During the first two years, the program emphasizes non-business studies with an introduction to business management studies. The general education emphasis of the first two years of the program allows students to explore a variety of academic interests and potential career paths before committing to an administrative studies program in years three and four.
Business Studies Component - Years 3 and 4
During the final two years, the program focuses on a core curriculum of business management courses that prepares students for a wide range of management careers.
The end result of this four-year program is a graduate who can identify and understand management problems, can develop alternative approaches to solving these problems and can make valuable contributions to organizations and society. Graduates will have a well-rounded education combining non-business education and business studies.
