BUS 222 - Professionalism and Responsible Impact

Professionalism shows up in how you interact with people and communities, and how you represent yourself and your organization. This course will delve into several aspects of professional skills including business communication, managing projects, conducting research, understanding the importance of data literacy, working with personal technologies, giving presentations, leadership, respectful interactions with communities, and presenting oneself as a valuable job candidate. Team-building and collaboration will be honed through case analysis and project-based work. Topics such as responsible and ethical decision making, equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) across different aspects of business will be introduced. Students will gain a foundational understanding of the history and current context of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and be introduced to Indigenous business approaches. Prerequisite: BUS 101 (this prerequisite can be waived for transfer students).


BUS 303 - Application of Business Concepts

The course emphasizes the role of organizations in solving complex challenges on local, national and global scales. Students will continue building upon the hard and soft professional, interpersonal, and team-building skills practiced in earlier courses. Collaboration and problem-solving will continue to be honed through case simulations and projects that will explore broader societal and international issues. Students will use a systems thinking approach to analyze complex business topics including equity, diversity, and inclusion; Indigenous business and reconciliation; not-for-profits and leadership. Prerequisite: BUS 222.
