History
The Schulich School of Business was known as the Faculty of Administrative Studies which was founded in 1966. Before the establishment of the Seymour Schulich Building on the Keele Campus in 2003, the School was run from a York University building, currently renamed as Health, Nursing & Environmental Studies Building. In 1995, following a major monetary donation from Canadian billionaire Seymour Schulich, the school underwent a series of changes that created the present-day Schulich School of Business.
Seymour Schulich Building
The Seymour Schulich Building, opened in August 2003, is a $102-million complex. The building was jointly designed by Siamak Hariri and Robbie/Young & Wright Architects Inc. and was awarded the Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2006. The Seymour Schulich Building and its Executive Learning Centre houses Peter F. Bronfman Business Library, Executive Dining Room, Robert R. McEwen Auditorium, Tuchner's Eatery (restaurant/bar), Starbucks, a multi-storey hotel, and a number of small lecture halls.

Overview
Schulich offers two undergraduate programs:
In 2013–2014, the iBBA program will be in its 14th class, and the BBA program will be in its 36th.
Admissions
The Schulich School of Business maintains a selective admission standard for its undergraduate programs. The BBA and iBBA programs together enrol around 400 students and up (300 for BBA and 100 for iBBA) from an average of 4,500 to 5,000 applicants per year, providing an applicant to place ratio of around 12 to 1. Delayed entry students who have studied one year at another school are also allowed to apply. However, there are only a limited number of spaces reserved for the delayed entry stream and prospective applicants must meet specific degree requirements to qualify. Students applying to the BBA/iBBA program must have at least a low 90s average to remain competitive; the cut-off line for undergraduate applicants in 2010 stood at 90.5%, with the overall average for incoming undergraduates being 92.7%. Applicants must also submit a Supplementary Information Form that includes a summary of the organizations, sports teams, volunteer or paid work that the applicant has been involved in. There are two essay type questions on the Supplementary Information Form. All undergraduate applicants must take at least 6 U and M courses, but cannot take more than 2 M courses in the same discipline. Applicants must also take Grade 12 English (U) and Grade 12 Advanced Functions and either Grade 12 Data Management or Grade 12 Calculus (Calculus Recommended). Delayed entry students must maintain at least an A average in order to be considered and must also fill out a Supplementary Information Form.
Academics
Similar to the graduate program, students are not required to specialize in a discipline. However, students can choose to specialize in up to two areas such as: Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship and Family Business, Finance, International Business, Marketing, Organization Studies or Operations Management & Information Systems, and Strategic Management. iBBA students are also required to complete one semester of study abroad at one of Schulich's partner schools and to take a foreign language course every year. The most popular specializations include Accounting, Finance and Marketing.
Undergraduate students in the BBA and iBBA programs also have the option of pursuing a Certificate in Managing International Trade and Investment. This is the first Certificate to be offered at the Schulich School.
International Exchange
Any student enrolled in the BBA/iBBA program may apply for one Study Abroad term. Students may apply for a full academic year only in cases where a full year option is available as per the information on individual partner schools. Exchange term could either be the second semester of Year 3, or first and second semester of Year 4. Schulich partners with 56 exchange partner universities in 28 different countries. Less than 50% of the student body would go on exchange during their studies at Schulich. Exchange is mandatory for iBBA students as it is a part of their graduation requirements, but BBA students are also allowed to participate in exchange. Most countries that invite Schulich students for exchange terms have limited spots therefore a portion of the spots in each university is reserved for iBBA students, and the rest of the spots are for students studying in either undergraduate designation.
