Bachelor of Business Administration Degree

Build a strong foundation in business knowledge, continue with your general business degree – or develop in-depth expertise in your chosen area.

Capilano University's School of Business balances classroom learning with hands-on experience.

Our instructors bring up-to-date knowledge to the classroom, sharing the expertise that's made them successful. Small class sizes mean instructors have more time for students.

In the third year, you may choose a concentration: Accounting, Business Information and Analytics (BIMA), Financial Planning, Human Resources Management, International Business and Logistics, or Marketing.

Capilano University (then a college) was founded in 1968. In 1973, we opened our permanent campus in North Vancouver. Four years later, we opened kálax-ay the Sunshine Coast campus in Sechelt, and CapU Lonsdale opened in 2020.

CapU enrols approximately 12,700 students each year, 9,000 in for-credit programs, nearly 1,200 in non-credit courses and 2,500 international students.

The University is named after Chief Joe Capilano, an important leader of the Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh) Nation of the Coast Salish people. Our campuses are located on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, Lil'wat and Sechelt (shíshálh) Nations.

In 2008, the provincial government changed its designation to Capilano University.
