International Studies and Business Administration York University

Overview

International Studies and Business Administration at York University offers a coordinated four-year dual pathway that pairs Glendon’s bilingual liberal arts curriculum with two years at emlyon business school in France. Students spend the initial portion of their degree at Glendon, where course work emphasises international society, languages and global perspectives, and conclude with intensive business study and professional experience in Lyon. The combination is designed to deliver both cultural-linguistic competence and applied commercial skills through a single, consecutive programme.

Why International Studies and Business Administration at York University?

This dual credential is delivered through Glendon and leverages the campus’s trademark small‑group liberal arts teaching, strong French-language instruction and international outlook. It also draws on the wider resources of York University, Canada’s third-largest university, to provide academic support, student services and access to multidisciplinary electives.

On completion of two years at Glendon students transfer to emlyon business school, noted on the programme page as linked to France’s leading business incubator. That partnership gives learners concentrated exposure to contemporary business practices, entrepreneurship and networking opportunities within a European context.

Practical development is integral: the programme page highlights part-time employment, internships and other hands-on opportunities as ways for students to build workplace experience in Toronto before completing a period of work-based learning in France.
