Canadian Mennonite University is small, Christian and set on Shaftesbury Boulevard in south-west Winnipeg, and the Redekop School of Business is its business school. Degrees mix business courses with CMU's liberal arts core. Every CMU student completes a practicum, so work placements are part of the degree. The school puts weight on ethics and social enterprise, and on running nonprofits as well as companies.

You'll need a study permit. Canadian Mennonite University sends a letter of acceptance, and most students also need a provincial attestation letter. The permit application goes online to IRCC with proof of funds and biometrics.
The BBA and the BA in business and organizational administration are the main business degrees, and CMU also offers an MA in peacebuilding and collaborative development. Undergraduate entry needs secondary school completion with good grades and IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
CMU offers entrance scholarships and bursaries, and international students can be considered. Awards are usually partial, so plan to cover most costs.
