Degree Program
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM IN BUSINESS
GENERAL
Cariboo College in association with Simon Fraser University offers a program leading
to a Bachelor's Degree in Business Studies with concentrations in Human Resource
Management and Marketing.
The College calendar in effect at the time the student is formally accepted into
the Degree program establishes the degree requirements for the graduation of that
student. This supplement to the Cariboo College Calendar establishes the degree
requirements for students admitted to the program in the 1989-1990 academic year.
All students should confirm with the Business Degree Program Advisor the details
of the requirements.
Admission to the Bachelor of Business Studies program occurs at the 3rd year level.
Students are expected to complete the general education and specific Lower Division
requirements described below, during years I and 2 of their studies. Students may
. ?
apply for admission to the degree program after completion of 45 credit hours.
First and Second year students who intend to apply for admission to the BBS program
are required to have their registration form reviewed by the Business Degree Program
Advisor prior to registration each semester. This review is intended to ensure
students complete the necessary lower division course and CGPA requirements prior
to applying for entry into the BBS degree program.
Students may transfer to Simon Fraser University at any time during their first or
second year. However, once a student has been admitted to the BBS program, it is
the expectation of both SFU and the College that the student will complete the
degree at Cariboo College.
The general education requirements reflect the value the College places on broadly
based education in the Humanities, the Social Sciences, Mathematics and the
Sciences. The specific Lower Division requirements prepare the student for more
advanced Upper Division courses.

BBS Program Policies:
1.
Any course duplications (repeating a course) by a BBS student will require prior
approval of the Business Degree Program Advisor. Normally, no more than 3 courses
may be duplicated; and only one duplication of a single course will be allowed. The
highest grade achieved in duplicated courses will be used for COPA calculations, but the
student's record will show the first attempt.
2.
For students who have been admitted to the BBS program who subsequently want to
enrol in accredited Upper Division courses offered at other university level institutions,
credits for these courses may only be applied toward completion of the requirements of
the BBS degree if prior written approval of the Business Degree Program Advisor has
been granted.
3.
No more than 15 credit hours of accredited Upper Division work completed at other
university level institutions may be counted toward completion of the Upper Division
requirements for the BBS degree.
4.
At least 60 credit hours of the course work counted toward completion of the 120 credit
hours required for the BBS degree must be completed at Cariboo College.

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY MEMORANDUM
Office of the Dean of Arts
To: Ross Saunders
Associate Vice-President, Academic
From: Ellen Gee
Associate Dean of Arts
Re: SFU/Cariboo Bachelor of Business Studies Degree
Date: 12 May, 1989
The proposal for the SFU/Cariboo BSS degree has come to the
attention of FACC, as three Faculty of Arts courses (BUEC) are
contained within it. While it is not the intention of FACC to, in
any way, block approval of this proposed degree, nor would such
an attempt be appropriate, our discussion at an FACC meeting of
11 May has resulted in a series of questions that we collectively
feel is important to raise. We request that these questions be
. ?
attached to the BBS proposal when it is considered by SCAP and
Senate. Our questions are as follows:
1.
What is the status of SFU with regards to this degree? We were
under the impression that this would be an SFU degree (similar to
the way that UBC programmes at Cariboo will be UBC degrees).
However, we are informed that the BBS degree will not "really" be
an SFU degree. If it is not, then what is it?
Our other questions follow from this ambiguous situation.
2. Are the Cariboo courses deemed to be equivalent to SFU
(Burnaby) courses? The broader question here is: are we embarking
on an SFU degree programme that implies (however implicitly) a
lesser degree than an SFU (Burnaby) degree? Are we accepting and
negating equivalency at the same time?
3.
If this is an SFU degree, then we assume that for any student
who switches from the Cariboo location to SFU (Burnaby), courses
taken at Cariboo will be counted as equivalent (i.e., not
transfer) courses. Is this correct? (We recognize that it the
intention of the BSS programme that students, in most cases, will
remain at Cariboo for degree completion; however, we feel we
•
?
should have "rules" in place for the few students who will surely
end up here)
4.
Will BBS courses be counted towards SFU (Burnaby) breadth
requirements for any students who might come here for degree
completion? As it stands now, there is no provision for BBS
courses in our list of breadth requirements.
5.
In the case of a hypothetical student who does a good portion
of his/her upper division work in Cariboo and then transfers to
SFU (Burnaby) to an Arts (e.g. Economics) degree programme, will
the upper division work done at Cariboo count towards the Faculty
of Arts requirement of 45 upper division semester hours?
