This capstone course in business administration for northern Canadian communities will provide students with the opportunity to integrate and apply their business practice knowledge and skills to real-world business challenges. Business capstone projects will stem from community organizations (e.g. businesses, governments, nonprofits) that are seeking support in moving a specific challenge or opportunity forward. The course will focus on the unique economic, cultural, and environmental factors that shape business in northern Canada, and students will be expected to develop solutions to these challenges. Students will work alone or in teams to conduct research, analyse data, and develop recommendations for local businesses. The course will culminate in a final project where students will present their findings and recommendations to a panel of industry experts.

Bachelor of Business Administration degree students must take at least two capstone courses (i.e. BCAP400 and/or BCAP401). Students may take BCAP400 twice but they must pursue unique projects. Students may only take BCAP401 once. Students will work in collaboration with the course instructor(s) to create capstone experiences that align with their respective areas of interest and ensure that they gain practical experience(s) in business administration.

Prerequisite(s): LEAD 402 - Strategic Business Planning or permission from the instructor.
