Other Areas of Interest



There are many different paths that a BBA or iBBA student may choose to direct a career after graduation. In addition to immediately starting careers in one of the main stream business fields, listed on the previous pages, some students may choose to take a less traditional career path or to carry on to Graduate School. Graduate School provides the opportunity to become more focused in one area or another. Students can also take courses that lead to less traditional careers such as public sector management, not-for-profit
management, or real property. At Schulich, a student benefits from the breadth of the degree which allows building on themes which can be interdisciplinary in nature. By managing both the non-Schulich course electives and Schulich electives these career directions can be realized. The following sample areas of interest are provided to help students to think creatively when selecting upper year electives. The intent is to trigger your imagination.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Environmental and social concerns are at the forefront of the new issues which are stretching the responsibilities of business and demanding new types of management thinking. Schulich offers an elective course in Corporate Social Responsibility in a Global Context (MGMT 4300) for the BBA or iBBA student who seeks to have a conceptual understanding of why CSR has become so important.

Not-for-Profit Management
Many business students are interested in using their business skills and knowledge to address social issues in Canada and globally. Electives in the management of NGOs and charities (MGMT 3200, Management Issues in the Nonprofit Sector) and social enterprise development (ENTR 4800, Social Entrepreneurship) provide the opportunity to learn about this growing sector of the economy. These courses allow you to apply your skills to existing organizations and start-ups focused on poverty reduction, international development, health, arts and culture, human rights and other community and social issues.

Students who complete both of these courses may be eligible for a further guided study course in the area of nonprofit management.

Public Sector Management
A public management focus allows students to build new careers in the government at the local, provincial and federal levels. By adding the elective Business and Government (PUBL 4000) to a BBA or iBBA program with general management focus and some liberal arts study in political science and public policy, a student can enhance opportunities.
Students interested in the public sector as a possible destination for career, should be mindful of the Public Service examinations.

Real Estate and Infrastructure
Real Estate and Infrastructure represents on of the largest industry sectors locally nationally and internationally and encompasses business enterprises that range in scope from investment and asset management to the development of residential, industrial, office and retail uses to highways, transit, major public facilities and underground supply networks.

Elective courses in Real Estate Management (PROP 4950) and Real Estate Development and Marketing (PROP 4800) provide the BBA and iBBA student the opportunity to gain a foothold in the area. Students who complete both of these courses may be eligible for a further guided study course in the area of real property. A student club dedicated to this field increases the exposure to the topic and industry.



SCHULICH GUIDED STUDY 4900-SERIES ELECTIVE COURSES


Enrolment in Schulich Guided Study 4900-Series Elective Courses

Under guidance of a Schulich faculty member, individual students in Year 3 or 4 may undertake a special program of Guided Studies
tailored to the mutual interests of the student and the faculty member. These studies are co-designed by the student and the faculty member in advance of start of the academic term. The student and faculty member must sign a Guided Study Form that includes:
  1. the explicit learning objectives for the student,
  2. an agreement on the most appropriate means of achieving these objectives, and
  3. a means of assessment to demonstrate that the learning objectives have been met.

Guided Study courses normally are supervised by a full-time (i.e. tenure-stream) faculty member. If the supervisor is a part-time or contract
instructor, a full-time faculty member must co-sign the form.

Guided Study courses should have a minimal overlap with courses that a student has previously taken and with courses that otherwise are available through normal course offerings.

A student can take a maximum of 6.0 credit-hours of Guided Study courses for BBA or iBBA degree credit. Guided Study courses are coded as SB/XXXX 4900 3.00. The XXXX portion of the course code uses the functional area or program a faculty member is associated with, such as FINE 4900 3.00, IBUS 4900 3.00 or BSUS 4900 3.00. Not available to exchange students visiting Schulich.
