Business and Economics - Business Economics and Accounting - Integrated Entry - International Year One (UTP Stage II) (Optional Co-op)

The Lazaridis School operates the largest business degree co-op program in the country. Students are encouraged to explore different career options and gain valuable employment experience before they graduate. The employment rate for the Economic (BA) program in 2020 was 100%.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Economics and Accounting program is CPA-accredited and gives a career advantage to students looking to become an accountant. Unlike most programs in accounting, this one prepares students to understand business and government issues in a data-driven economy at the macro level.

During the UTP Stage II: Business and Economics program students will take courses that introduce them to a wide range of disciplines including Business, Accounting, Economics and Leadership Foundations. Below is a sample of the courses that they might take during the program. They will be eligible to apply to the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics Bachelor of Business Technology (BBTM) at Wilfrid Laurier University upon successful completion of the UTP Stage II: Business and economics program.
