As one of the respected International Business programs in Toronto, Centennial College’s
Business – International Business undertaking aims to offer students, in just a matter of two
years, the skills they will need to enjoy a wide range of careers. For example, grads may work as

and inside sales representatives. Additionally, successful grads are not limited to one area. They
are fully prepared to launch careers in the areas of manufacturing and production, retail and

The focus of the International Business program is two-fold. First, it ensures that students have a
solid overview of the business world. Taught during these courses are concepts such as financial
accounting concepts (demonstrates the use of accounting information to make better judgments
and decisions about the organization); human resources management (introduces the functional
areas of HRM and applies acquired concepts and terminology to solve problems related to the
effective human resource management in organizations); strategies for business success (includes
time management, listening and note-taking, making the most of studying from textbooks,
communicating effectively, test preparation, effective use of college resources, and use of the
Internet as a research tool); and more.
Secondly, the program presents a range of Centennial College's International Business
Courses that include both practical and lectured-based aspects. Instructors have been employed
in the field and enhance students’ learning through anecdotes from their own careers, advice
based on experience as well as networking opportunities. These experienced faculty members
guide students through courses such as International Marketing, Global Logistics, Customs
Services and
Compliance, Principles of Macroeconomics, International Business Concepts and more.
In addition to being able to launch careers in entry-level positions, students may also choose to
apply their Centennial credits towards a degree with universities with which the college has forged
educational partnerships, including: Algoma University, Athabasca University, University of New
Brunswick, University of Ontario Institute of Technology and University of Windsor.
