PRINT VERSIONBachelor of Business Administration - International Business Minor & Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship - International Business
As international markets expand and become more accessible there is increasing need for professionally trained people ready to do business globally.
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) - International Business Minor at the Bissett School of Business represents a natural progression of the suspended Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship - International Business program, where students complete core and optional courses in their chosen area(s) of focus. BBA students have a Co-operative Education option to add practical real-world experience through three full-time work terms.
The Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship - International Business exposes students to a unique combination of entrepreneurship, international trade and practical work experience integral to business ventures within and beyond Canada’s borders. Entry to this program was suspended in the Fall of 2009, however students currently in the program are available for full-time work terms (Directed Field Studies) with private, public and non-governmental organizations for relevant positions offering significant international exposure and work.
Each work experience component of these programs connects employers with students eager to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Student workers bring fresh perspective and enthusiastic contributions to an organization while enhancing their skills and confidence. Being a work experience employer is your opportunity to reach out and build relationships with prospective talent while contributing to outstanding programs.

Professional Designation
In addition to earning a four-year degree, many students completing the Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship - International Business or the Bachelor of Business Administration - International Business Minor are focused on earning the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) diploma. Students can transfer credit toward this credential as FITT recognizes the value of International Business courses offered at Mount Royal’s Bissett School of Business. After one year of international trade experience, students and graduates with the FITT diploma are eligible to apply for the Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) designation.
Students are available for paid work terms of a minimum of 450 hours. These typically run May through August, but students are often available January through April or September through December.
Our recruiting process is convenient and cost-free.
