Okanagan University College

What you'll study

Year one and two provide a solid general-business foundation. After that students may specialise in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Human Resources Management, Management, or Marketing, or follow a general studies path mixing electives from these areas. Coursework emphasizes applied projects and connections with local businesses; business and non-business electives are included. Additional features include optional co-operative education (subject to meeting eligibility) and possible prior-learning credit for selected courses.

Entry requirements

Admission options include regular entry (B.C. secondary graduation or equivalent) and mature entry (19+ and out of full-time secondary study for at least one year). Applicants must meet English requirements and a specified mathematics requirement: a minimum 50% in one of several Grade 11/12 mathematics courses listed (Pre-calculus 11, Foundations 11, Principles 11, Applications 11, Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 11, Apprenticeship Mathematics 11) or specified Adult Basic Education math courses, or a minimum score of 16/25 on the Okanagan College Business Math Proficiency Test. Qualifying status may be granted when entrance requirements are not yet met, with limits on concurrent first-year course load. Entry into year three can be achieved by completing an approved Business Administration diploma, 60 university-level credits (including at least 24 at the 200-level or higher), or an Associate Degree, each with a minimum 60% average.

Career prospects

The program prepares graduates for a range of professional roles aligned with their chosen specialisation—for example accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, management, entrepreneurship or hospitality/tourism—by emphasising applied projects, practical assignments and local business engagement. Co-op and internship options can provide workplace experience to support job readiness.
