Admission to the BBA and iBBA programs at Schulich is based on academic performance and a satisfactory Supplementary Information Form, which is an important component of the admissions process. Admission averages vary slightly from year to year because the actual average will depend on the number of applications, the calibre of the applicant pool and the number of spaces available. The minimum admission requirement for Ontario high school applicants over the past three years has been in the low 90s. Does it matter if I repeat a course? York University Admissions will take the higher of the two marks presented if a course has been taken more than once. An explanation of why you repeated a course should be included with your Supplementary Information Form. Do I need to complete high school business courses?

Admission requirements are the same for both programs. Applicants should apply to the program that best suits their interests. Can I begin my studies in January? September is the only entry point for BBA and iBBA students. Can I study on a part-time basis? The Schulich BBA and iBBA are Specialized Honours programs, offered only on a full-time basis.
