PROPOSED DEGREE FOR THE FACULTY OF 

?

Date.. ...5198. 

OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

At the meeting of SCAP held April 7th., there was very brief discussion of 

SCAP 82-9 

On

the above-mentioned topic, motion was made "that the name of the 

degree to be granted by the Faculty of Business Administration be Bachelor of 

Business Administration", there was some question of using major in Business 

Administration when the title includes such words, comment was made that the 

question of joint majors and joint honors had not been considered in conjunction 

with this proposal, motion was made "that paper SCAP 82-9 be tabled pending 

further consideration of possible variations and combinations of programs 

which could affect the proposed degree title" - the motion to table carried. 

There obviously was misunderstanding and misinformation. These various items 

had been discussed by earlier groups and it was believed they had been disposed 

of, with some deemed of insufficient consequence to need statements in the 

submission. 

Under the present general University structure, at the undergraduate level to 

qualify for a Bachelor's degree (with the exception of the BGS degree and some 

provisions for double minors on the B.Ed degree) a student is required to complete 

is

?

a Major program or an Honors program. In a number of instances there are provisions 

for a Joint Major program or Joint Honors program. In addition a student may take 

two Major programs (Double Major), or may include one or more Minor programs. 

There are other provisions. 

Under the present programs offered in the Faculty of Arts, for those interested 

in Business Administration there is provision for the following:- 

Major in Business Administration 

Honors in Business Administration 

Joint Major in Business Administration and Economics 

Joint Honors in Business Administration and Economics 

Minor in Business Administration 

Various additions of another Major, or Honors, or one or more minors under 

the general regulations of the University. 

Under the proposed programs to be offered in the Faculty of Business Administration 

there continues to be provision for each of the above. The present proposal 

therefore is following the long-time general structure of the University and 

practice as at present in Business Administration. 

Students undertaking the standard undergraduate programs in the Faculty of 

Business Administration usually will be qualifying for a Bachelor of Business 

Administration, with 

Major in Business Administration or 

Joint Major in Business Administration and Economics or 

• ? 

Honors in Business Administration or 

Joint Honors in Business Administration and Economics or 

anyone of the other combinations available. 

If the proposal is approved it is intended to introduce this degree title 

for September, 1982, subject to UCBC approval.
