Seneca College fosters relationships between business and academia

Home to more than 3,500 international students, Seneca College understands the importance of instilling a cosmopolitan outlook to build a globally competitive student body. Seneca ensures that students are prepared to respond to changing social and economic demands with continuing improvements in its curriculum.

By introducing new bachelor of commerce degrees in business management and international business management this autumn, Seneca is equipping students with the skill sets needed to successfully navigate the business landscape.

"Our strong connections in the world of commerce and the industry experience of our dedicated faculty ensure the excellence of our business programmes," says David Agnew, Seneca president. "We are delighted to offer two new commerce degrees that build on those strengths and our current offerings of three other commerce degrees. Our graduates will leave Seneca with the academic requirements for important industry certifications."

Seneca's bachelor of commerce in business management aims to boost Canada's flourishing small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing market-ready graduates. The degree covers courses specific to the needs of SMEs and business management professionals in non-profit and social enterprises.

The bachelor of commerce in international business management grooms graduates for procurement, sales and marketing careers in multinational companies. Seneca also teaches specialised skills in international business strategy.

Aside from the new business programmes, students also benefit from cultural exchanges ushered in by the new Confucius Institute at Seneca. In co-operation with Northeast Normal University, Seneca sees the institute as a catalyst for strengthening trade ties between the mainland and Canada.
