Newly admitted students beginning their business studies at Simon Fraser University on the Surrey or Burnaby campus will complete the Business Foundation Program. The Business Foundation Program is an interdisciplinary first term program where students will gain foundational skills and knowledge for success in their academic and experiential pursuits within the Beedie School of Business. An emphasis on applied business knowledge, communication and collaboration will be expressed through complementary weekly workshops, as well as second term career/professional development workshops via the Business Career Passport. The Business Foundation Program contains two streams: the high school stream for newly admitted high school students (category 1) and the transfer stream for internal and external transfer students (category 2, 3, or 4). Each stream is designed to address the transition needs of the respective student group. Both streams must complete the Career Passport requirements.
