University of Prince Edward Island

Certificate in Business

The Business Certificate is intended for students who satisfy the entrance requirements of the Business Program but are not pursuing a Business degree. Generally, students must have successfully completed Grade 12 in a University Preparatory program with an overall average of at least 70% in English, Mathematics, any two Social Studies, Languages, or Sciences, and one other academic course.

Applicants with the appropriate work experience may also be accepted into the program.

The objective of this certificate program is to provide students with a sampling of courses in the areas of business. For those students interested, the certificate program also provides many of the foundation courses required to enter the BBA degree program.

The Business Certificate is a credit program comprised of ten three-semester hour courses: three required courses and seven elective courses. The courses are generally offered during the normal academic year, but some may be offered during summer school.
