Yes! Graduates of Sheridan’s Bachelor of Business Administration degree programs are eligible to apply to master’s level studies, similar to degree graduates from other postsecondary institutions. In fact, Sheridan Bachelor of Business Administration graduates have successfully applied and been accepted into a variety of master’s level studies.
Just remember, admission requirements for master’s level studies can vary by institution and you’ll still need to meet those requirements in order to be accepted.
Taking a full course load of five courses or more can typically be balanced with part-time work responsibilities.
However, we don’t recommend studying full-time while also working full-time, as it is very difficult to balance the demands of both.
Yes, you can! Sheridan’s degree completion program provides pathways into the Pilon School of Business’ Honours Bachelor of Business Administration degrees for graduates of 14 different diploma or advanced diploma programs.

Yes! All baccalaureate degrees offered by Ontario’s Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT) are subject to the same requirements and quality assurances as those offered by Ontario’s Institutes of Technology & Advanced Learning (ITAL).
Sheridan’s Bachelor of Business Administration degrees were initially quality-assured by the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB) in 2014. They were re-assessed this year (2021) by a panel of independent subject matter experts and were renewed for another seven years.
Yes, courses can be scheduled anytime between 8 a.m and 10 p.m., and we offer a selection of evening courses each semester!
However, evening courses are not guaranteed, and you’ll almost certainly have to accommodate daytime courses at some point in your studies. Our student advisers will work with you to develop a plan that allows for flexibility in your daytime commitments, such as arranging for before- or after-school care for children, or beginning work an hour late one day per week.
If you’re a full-time student, it will likely take you two years to complete a diploma program, three years to complete an advanced diploma program and four years to complete a degree program.
If you’re studying part-time, the length of time it will take you to complete your program will depend on how many courses you choose to complete each semester.
Yes, you can! Our innovative Online Advanced Standing application process allows you to transfer previously-earned credits at other institutions towards your Sheridan program of study.

You may also be able to receive credit for any previous work experience, unrecognized training, independent study, volunteer activities or hobbies you’ve participated in that is related to your field of study!
