The Ambassador Bridge to Detroit rises just beyond the University of Windsor's campus, and the Odette School of Business sits a short walk from it. Odette is the university's AACSB-accredited business school, teaching the BCom, an MBA and a Master of Management that draws many international students. The auto industry on both sides of the border shapes a lot of the teaching and co-op work.

Undergraduates apply through OUAC, ideally by early in the year for September. Master's programmes accept applications on a rolling basis for each intake, so apply six to eight months ahead.
The BCom starts in September or January. The Master of Management runs several intakes a year.
A Canadian study permit. Start with the letter of acceptance from the University of Windsor and, where required, the provincial attestation letter, then apply to IRCC online. Allow a few months, as processing times vary by country.
The BCom, Master of Management and MBA are the main options. Master's programmes need a four-year bachelor's degree with good grades and IELTS 6.5; the MBA may also ask for the GMAT or work experience.
The University of Windsor offers entrance scholarships to international undergraduates based on grades. Master's awards are more limited, so ask Odette directly.
