Students may apply for admission to the first year of this program (Terms A/B) directly from high school when choosing their intended program on the Undergraduate Application for Admission to Memorial University of Newfoundland.

The B.Comm(Co-op.) program is designed to prepare students for a career in business.

The international bachelor of business administration (iBBA) is a 120 credit hour program that combines business and cross-cultural studies with a required semester of studies overseas.

The iBBA is a challenging program that contains four key components:

1. core training in fundamental business skills;
2. additional international business courses dealing with the different types of international business activity, the different types of market where this activity takes place and the different types of behaviour met in these markets;
3. non-business cross-cultural skills that provide both a global and regional (e.g. Asian, European or Latin-American) perspective. This would normally include a foreign language but should also contain study in areas such as international relations, economics or any other area offering international or cross-cultural perspectives;
4. an approved program of study overseas, spent in the student's chosen region of interest. A range of study locations will be available in Europe, the Asian-Pacific and Latin-America.

Admission to the iBBA is competitive and selective. A student must achieve an overall average of 65 per cent on the 30 credit hours of pre-iBBA courses to be promoted to the iBBA. Please note that while a 65 per cent enables eligibility to the program, it does not guarantee admission.
