Aboriginal Business Administration Certificate
The Aboriginal Business Administration Certificate (ABAC) is a two-year direct entry program for self-identified Aboriginal students. ABAC is designed to provide programming for those Aboriginal students who do not meet the admission criteria for direct admission or transfer admission to the undergraduate program and for those Aboriginal students who wish to obtain a certificate in business but do not want to study in a four year degree program. Upon successful completion, students may choose to apply to the Bachelor of Commerce degree program during the regular application period. Students in good standing who have met ABAC program standards will be automatically admitted to the B.Comm degree program.
