BCOM (Honours) Degree – Only $9,600 Tuition Instead of $48,200

Breaking Down Barriers to Business Success

In today’s competitive global economy, a business degree can unlock doors to leadership roles, entrepreneurial ventures, and global career opportunities. But for many Canadian students and families, the high cost of tuition remains a significant barrier. At a time when average tuition fees for business programs across Canada can exceed $40,000, International Business University (IBU) is challenging the status quo.

Through its NextGen Bursary, IBU offers a fully accredited Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree for only $9,600 CAD — a bold commitment to making quality business education both accessible and affordable. With only 30 seats available for this unique offering, IBU is not just lowering costs; it is raising the standard for what affordable education should deliver.

The NextGen Bursary: Making Quality Education Accessible

The NextGen Bursary was created to support driven individuals — recent high school graduates, working professionals, and parents seeking strong educational outcomes for their children — who might otherwise be held back by financial constraints. The bursary dramatically reduces tuition from $48,200 to $9,600, with flexible payment options of $1,200 per semester. Unlike many programs that surprise students with additional material fees, e-books and learning resources are included, eliminating extra costs.

This financial model reflects IBU’s belief that cost should not be a barrier to opportunity. Instead, the focus remains on nurturing talent, preparing students for meaningful careers, and ensuring success after graduation.

Fully Accredited, Career-Ready, and Student-Focused

IBU is recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, offering a degree that meets rigorous academic standards and is respected by employers across Canada. However, accreditation is just one part of the equation.

Key features of the program include:

Small class sizes for personalized learning and one-on-one faculty engagement.
