The EBAC program was created to meet a growing demand from those who desired advanced business learning at the certificate level.

The EBAC program allows students to study executive business education at the certificate level. The program consists of 4 advanced business courses, which are taken over a period of two years. All courses are core – that is, there are no electives. The aim of the EBAC program is to provide advanced exposure in the areas of strategy implementation, decision making, advanced marketing, business plan development, and other business-related special topics.
