General Information
Through the cooperation of New Brunswick business firms and professional associations, the
Department of Business Administration was created in the Faculty of Arts during 1951 to service the
needs of Canadian business for men and women with specialized training in the field of management.
A School of Administration superseded the Department in 1975 and the Faculty of Administration was
established during 1980. The Faculty's operations since 1987 have been based in Ethel Francis Singer
Hall, a building named in memory of the first Jewish woman (BA’35, MA ‘38) to graduate from the
University of New Brunswick.
The four-year program leads to the degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) or Honours
BBA. The course of studies is designed to ensure that students receive a broad-based education, by
requiring a variety of courses from across the University, as well as courses from the functional areas
within the Faculty of Business Administration. Students will be made aware of the economic and
environmental context within which modern business operates, as well as learning about
administrative principles and practices.
Business Administration courses include accounting, finance, general management, human resource
management, law, management information systems, marketing, operations management,
organizational behaviour, and quantitative analysis. Lectures, class discussions, laboratory work,
essays, and case studies are used depending upon the requirements of the subject.
1. Business Administration and Accounting
A number of professional accounting organizations award certificates in accounting to students who
fulfill the required terms of service in the profession and who pass the required examinations. Most
organizations also provide courses of study to enable students to prepare for the examinations.
Candidates who are considering entering the accounting profession are invited to discuss the matter
with members of the Faculty. Calendars and other information from the accounting organizations are
available.
Holders of the BBA degree from UNBF will normally be exempt from part of the course of study, and
some of the examinations prescribed by the organizations. Since education is a provincial
responsibility, the requirements for accounting certificates and the exemption policies often differ

somewhat among the provinces. A student therefore should consult the provincial organization in the
province in which he or she plans to pursue studies. For New Brunswick a student should write to:
Certified General Accountant--CGA
CGA Association of New Brunswick 403-236 St. George St., Moncton, N.B. E1C 8R2

2. Business Administration and Law
BBA students who have completed three years of the BBA program may be admitted to the Faculty of
Law and may qualify for the BBA degree by successfully completing the first year of the Law program.
In order to qualify for the BBA, the students must have credit for all of the REQUIRED courses
specified for the BBA degree, with the exception of ADM 3123 . Students must apply to and be
accepted by the Faculty of Law.
3. Graduate Study in Business Administration
The Faculty of Business Administration offers an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree
program. Information regarding the program may be obtained from the School of Graduate Studies.
Most universities in Canada and in the United States which offer graduate programs in Business
Administration (MBA, MPA, etc.) require applicants to submit the results of the Graduate Management
Admission Test. Students who think they might wish to enter a graduate program in Business
Administration should arrange to write this test in their senior year
An undergraduate degree in business administration is not required for admission into the MBA
program.
4. Graduates of a Community College or Equivalent System
Students who have completed or partially completed such programs may be granted credits toward
the BBA. Entering students will be advised of their status, as provided for in the General Regulations
of the University.

Third Division standing but not with Distinction.
i.
ii.
Students who have a UNB undergraduate degree and are thus required to take a
minimum of 30 additional ch (and to have credit for all the required courses in the BBA
program) will have their division standing calculated on the basis of all the courses
they take while registered for the BBA degree, plus all of the required courses for the
BBA for which they received grades from UNB in their other undergraduate degree at
UNB.
Students whose first undergraduate degree is from another university are required to
complete at least 60 additional ch and to have credit for all required courses in the
BBA program. Their division standing will be calculated on all of the courses they have
taken while registered at UNB.
7. BBA Regulations
A student who had been registered in the BBA program and who withdrew while on probation or who
was required to withdraw from the program will not be eligible to re-enter the program without the
approval of the Faculty of Business Administration.
The regulations in respect to the BBA degree are expressed in terms of letter grades, credit hours and
grade point averages. These are referred to below.
A. Letter Grades
A candidate's final standing in a course is indicated by one of the letter grades stated in
Section B (Grading System and Classification) of this Calendar. A grade of C or better meets
the prerequisite standards for Business Administration courses.
B. Credit Hours
The number of credit hours assigned each course is stated in Section F of this Calendar. Due
to differences in the methods used by the various Faculties in the calculation of credit hours,
students who elect to register for courses taught outside of the Faculty of Business
Administration should note the following:
i.
For purposes of the BBA degree, any course taught outside of the Faculty of Business
Administration, which has a course number ending in zero and which is taught over
the full academic year, will receive the number of credit hours normally assigned by
the Faculty in which the course is taught, up to a maximum of 6.
ii.
For purposes of the BBA degree, any course taught outside of the Faculty of Business
Administration, which has a course number ending in other than zero and which is
offered in one term of the academic year, will receive the number of credit hours
normally assigned by the Faculty in which the course is taught up to a maximum of 3.
C. Grade Point Averages
4|Page
2014-2015 Calendar Proof

The method of calculating grade point averages is explained in Section B (Grading
System and Classification) of this Calendar.
ii.
Students registered in the BBA program must maintain an assessment grade point
average of at least 2.0 throughout the program. (See Section B of this Calendar for
further details of G.P.A., standing and promotion requirements).

To earn a degree, a student must have successfully completed at least 120 ch (see
Section 10) in approved courses. A grade of at least C must be attained in all the
courses specifically required for the degree.
iv.
Laboratory courses normally will not be counted in the ch total or in the calculation of
the grade point average.
D. Credits Required at UNB
At least 60 ch for the BBA degree must be taken at UNB and must normally include all the
required courses in the BBA degree program. (Under extraordinary conditions, a student may
be permitted to take some of those courses elsewhere with the prior consent of the Faculty of
Business Administration and the Registrar.)
E.
Changes in Degree Requirements
Improvements in the BBA program may lead to changes in the requirements for the degree.
The University reserves the right to require candidates already enrolled to meet the revised
requirements where practicable.
F.
Majors and Concentrations
i.
A student qualifying for the BBA degree who has met the requirements for a Single or
Double Major in the Bachelor of Arts program may apply to the Registrar to have
noted on the student's transcript that the Major requirement in the external discipline
has been met.
Students are advised that Major programs must be approved by the relevant
Department in the Faculty of Arts. Many Business Administration students choose to
do a Major in Economics from the Faculty of Arts. The major consists of a minimum of
30 ch in Economics of which 24 ch must be in advanced courses. Business students
should note because the Economics Department does not offer its own statistics and
quantitative methods courses, that ADM 2623 and ADM 2624 are treated as credits for
advanced Economics courses. Required courses include ECON 3013, ECON 3023 and
ADM 2623.

9. Business Administration Curriculum
A. General Information
1. Choice of program: For Upper level students, two program paths are available: BBA
and Honours BBA. Upon the successful completion of 60 ch, students must declare
their intent to follow one or the other of these two paths. Their decisions must be
made in consultation with the academic advisors of the Faculty of Business
Administration. The Honours degree is designed for candidates with a high level of
ability who wish to undertake intensive study of an area within business
administration. Students who satisfy the requirements for an Honours degree will have
that designation included on their final transcript.
2. Approval of courses: Students are expected to consult with the academic advisors of
the Faculty of Business Administration in the development of their program of study.
Students must follow the course sequence outlined in this Calendar and complete
prerequisites prior to enrolment in intermediate-or upper-level courses. Approvals for
any exceptions to this policy will occur only under extraordinary conditions.
3. The normal course load for all BBA students is 30 ch in each of the first two years of
the program. Students who take the BBA degree complete 30 ch in each of the last
two years. Students who take the Honours BBA degree must complete a further 6 ch
in the last two years.
4. A full-time student is one whose work load consists of a minimum of 12 ch in each
term (or 24 ch for two terms in the regular session). Students may enroll for a
maximum of 36 ch in any year of the program provided they obtained at last a 2.5
grade point average on at least 30 ch in the immediate preceding year at university.
Students who do not obtain at least a 2.5 grade point average on at least 30 ch in the
7|Page
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
immediate preceding year at university are advised to take no more than 30 ch of
course work. Students should take no more than 12 ch per term of course work in a
year following placement on academic probation, or upon re-entering university after
being required to withdraw. Part-time students are subject to the maximum course
loads permitted in Extension, or Summer Session.
5. Candidates must obtain a grade of at least C in the courses required for the BBA
degree. This includes all required Business Administration courses, all first or second
year electives from Groups A, B, and C (see Section 10). As outlined below, students
who seek to complete a concentration or Major within Business Administration must
also obtain a minimum cumulative GPA on the courses designated for the
concentration or major (see Section 11).
6. At least 39 ch of electives must be chosen from courses beyond the introductory level.
These normally include courses for which there are prerequisites. Prerequisites include
both specific courses and/or specific credit hour specifications.
7. At least 12 of the 39 ch in 9.A.7 must be courses beyond the introductory level from
within a single faculty other than the Faculty of Business Administration. Students
should select those electives in consultation with the academic advisors of the Faculty
of Business Administration. The courses should constitute a logical and coherent set of
studies.
8. It is the responsibility of a student to ascertain that elective courses are acceptable for
BBA or Honours BBA degree credit. Service courses offered by other faculties are not
acceptable for degree credit. In addition, various courses (such as those in statistical
methods) duplicate some of the material in required Business Administration courses
and will not be accepted for credit. The following courses are not allowed for BBA or
Honours BBA credit: CE 3933 , CE 3963 ,CE 3973 , CE 5623 , ED 3113 , ENGG
4013 , FE 3233 , FE 3603 , FE 5252 , FOR 3006 , ME 3232 , PSYC 2113 , PSYC

will be permitted to enter the Honours BBA only under exceptional circumstances.
Entrance into the Honours BBA requires that a student shall have demonstrated a high
level of ability in first- and second-level courses. The Faculty of Business
Administration will normally refuse to admit to Honours students whose cumulative
GPA is below 3.0 at the completion of 60 credit hours or whose grades in relevant
courses are below B. Students should note that admission is competitive and meeting
minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
2. Students taking the Honours BBA path must complete at least 126 ch of approved
course work, including at least 24 ch in courses for a designated major within Business
Administration. (See Section 12).

13. Co-operative Education Option
13 | P a g e
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
The Faculty of Business Administration offers a Co-operative Education (Co-op) program that is
available to academically qualified BBA students who have completed one year of study. Co-op is
“practical” education which extends the learning process beyond the classroom into the workplace by
alternating academic study terms with paid periods of career related work experience. The Co-op
Program in Business Administration consists of eight study terms and three work terms of four months
each. This program is normally completed in four calendar years, compared to four academic years for
the regular BBA degree. The Co-op Program allows students to complete concentrations or majors per
degree requirements (see Sections 9B, 9C, 11, 12), in addition to Co-op. Students normally apply for
entry to the Co-op program during their second term of study. Later application and entry into the
program may be possible.
a.
Admission to the Co-op program is competitive. Students must achieve a GPA of at least 3.0 in
the study term preceding their application for employment. Students are advised to contact
the Faculty of Business Administration Co-op Coordinator for additional acceptance criteria.
b.
Students must register for each work term in order that they be considered full-time students
while working.
c.
A work term fee will be charged for each 4 month work term registered.
d.
A student's progress on work terms will normally be jointly monitored by the employer and
through on-site visits by the Co-op Coordinator. As well, the employer will complete an
evaluation of the student. The student must discuss these evaluations with the Coordinator
upon returning to UNBF from the work term.
e.
Students must have a minimum of 3 work terms, alternating with study terms, with
satisfactory employer evaluations and work term reports to meet the requirements of the Coop option. Upon graduation with the BBA degree, Co-op students meeting these requirements
will have the designation “Co-operative Education” following the degree designation on their
transcript.
f.
Students will normally have at least one study term after their last work term.
g.
Each successful work term will be noted on the student’s transcript
h.
Upon successful completion of three work terms, students will be registered in ADM 4195 ,
Management Internship.

14. Minor in Business
The Minor in Business is designed for students from outside the Faculty of Business Administration
interested in a coherent package of Business Administration courses.
The Minor in Business will consist of 24 credit hours of approved Business Administration courses.
Students planning to minor in Business will be required to take ADM 1015 and 21 additional credit
hours chosen in consultation, and in advance, with the Faculty of Business Administration. At least 12
of the 24 credit hours must be from the 3000 and 4000 level courses. A grade of C or better is
required in each course used towards the Minor in Business.
Students should note that at least half the credits counted towards a Minor in Business must be from
courses taken at the University of New Brunswick. Exceptions may be considered by the Dean of
Business Administration.
15. ROYTEC Option
The UNB Faculty of Business Administration offers a BBA in participation with: University of West
Indies School of Business and Applied Studies Limited in Trinidad. Further information is available
from the Faculty of Business Administration.
16. Certificate Programs
The Faculty of Business Administration offers degree credit courses leading to Certificates in Business
Administration, Public Administration, Applied Human Resources Management, and First Nations
Business Administration. Students may take these programs on a part-time or full-time basis.
These certificate programs are designed to provide individuals, especially working adults, with an
opportunity to engage in systematic and coordinated study directed towards an academic goal.
Participants enrolled in the certificate programs will have an opportunity to study the basic principles
of administration and management; to improve their analytical skills; to increase their awareness of
the various factors contributing to effective decision-making; and to understand the basic functions of
organizations.
The certificate programs will be of particular interest to those men and women who are engaged in
administration or are contemplating a career in administration or management and wish to expand
their knowledge in the related subject areas. The courses in the certificate programs are presented at
the undergraduate level of study and provide a framework for theoretical analysis of general principles
of administration through lectures, discussions and individual study. By combining accumulated work
experience and formal class-room learning, participants will be able to relate theory and practice as
part of their continuing development.
All courses for the certificates are degree-credit courses. Individuals who successfully complete
certificate courses and who are subsequently admitted to a degree program normally will receive
credit towards a degree for those courses normally acceptable for credit in the particular degree
program. Individuals admitted to a BBA degree program will normally be able to apply all certificate
courses completed to their degree program.
