THE HBA/URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMBINED DEGREE PROGRAM
The combined degree programs are administered on behalf of the Richard Ivey School of Business and the Department of Geography in the Faculty of Social Science.

The combined program is a five-year program leading to a BA in Honors Business Administration (HBA) and a BA with Honors Specialization in Urban Development (Geography). In Years 1 and 2 students are registered in the Department of Geography and follow the normal curriculum for the Urban Development module. In Year 3, students are registered in the HBA program. Students are registered in the combined program in Years 4 and 5. Admission requirements for the combined program are outlined below.

Admission Requirements

To be eligible for consideration for admission to the combined program, in the first two years students must complete a minimum of 10.0 courses including Business Administration 2257. In Year 1 they must complete the admission requirements as specified in the current Academic Calendar for entry into the Honors Specialization module offered by the Department of Geography.

In Year 2 students must enroll in the Honors Specialization in Urban Development in the Department of Geography and satisfy the minimum progression requirements for the second year of that Honors Specialization. Under certain conditions, students who in Year 2 enroll in a Major in Geography may be eligible for admission to the combined degree program, but they will have to transfer into the Honors Specialization in Urban Development module in the Department of Geography if they are accepted into the combined degree program. Such a transfer is only possible if they have received the marks needed to transfer into the Honors Specialization module and are able to complete all the requirements of the combined degree program for the module.

In the first two years, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 78%, a minimum mark of 70% in Business Administration 2257, and no mark less than 60%. They must also gain admission to the HBA program through the regular application process. In addition, students must normally attain a minimum weighted average of 78% in the first year of the HBA.

Students apply for the combined degree program during the HBA 1 year, typically their third year of University. Applications to the combined program must be made in writing to the Undergraduate Program Advisor of the Department of Geography and to the HBA Program Office by the deadlines published by the Richard Ivey School of Business. Entrance to the program may be limited.

Refer to the Faculty of Social Science, Department of Geography for details on this combined program.
