The Path to Success ...

Over 83% of our 2010 graduates who were looking for employment secured positions within six months of finishing their degree, with nearly 77% finding work before graduation. Our co-op program  ensures even greater odds of success, as 100% of our 2009 and 2010 participants found employment. The program offers paid, relevant work experience within a number of highly reputable organizations and in every area of specialization.

Our graduates also go on to earn impressive salaries within their first years of employment. In 2010, reported annual salaries were as high as $57,000.

A Bachelor of Commerce degree from the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan  provides the foundation for a successful and lucrative career in a variety of fields and industries. Edwards students choose from six major specializations; polish their strategic thinking, communication and management skills; gain experience in the business world through the co-op program; and may even represent Edwards in future business case competitions.

The University itself may be one of Canada's best kept academic secrets. It is one of the preeminent centres of learning and research in Canada, welcoming over 17,000 undergraduate students and 1,800 graduate students each year – including international students from 80 different countries.

The classically designed campus is located on the banks above the South Saskatchewan River overlooking downtown Saskatoon. The university is in a period of renewal, adding innovative renovations to several of our colleges as well as the Physical Activity Complex – a vibrant hub of physical fitness. The immaculately kept campus is renowned as one of the most beautiful in Canada and is well served by the city's public transportation service.

The Opportunity to Shine ...

The Edwards Business Students’ Society (EBSS)  supplements the university experience with a diverse number of social, academic, athletic, and charitable events throughout the school year. The organization fosters cohesiveness and pride throughout Edwards while helping students acquire the skills necessary for their future careers. In addition to the Council, students can join any of the eight student groups housed within the EBSS or the numerous campus groups part of the USSU .

Edwards will offer some exciting new classes starting in the 2011/2012 academic year, each designed to help students flourish. The experiential learning course will help students better prepare for the national business competitions offered throughout the year, and third and fourth year students will be able to enrol in the investment practicum courses, managing a portfolio of real money.  

Feeling at Home ...

Student residences are fundamental to the learning experience of many students, and demand for residence is very high. In December 2009, the U of S began construction on a new 400-bed undergraduate student residence in College Quarter, helping us to reach our goal of housing 15% of our student population by 2012.

The Undergraduate Student Housing Residence Project, planned by the University in partnership with Meridian Development Corporation, will move us significantly closer to that goal. The first phase of construction will provide 400 new beds in 2011, with a 400 more beds following closely after.

The Right Choice ...

Edwards is home to five specialized centres and services across two campuses, ensuring students get the perfect mix of local and global opportunities. The Hanlon Centre for International Business Studies offers internships, volunteer opportunities with international trade organizations in Saskatchewan as well as a variety of seminars and workshops to keep students informed on issues in global business. The Wilson Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence provides students with access to mentoring, coaching, and networking in the discipline of entrepreneurship and the Rawlco Centre for Aboriginal Initiatives supports student success through dedicated services like the Rawlco Resource Centre and the Aboriginal Business Students’ Society.

Our downtown campus, the K.W. Nasser Centre, puts our graduate students right in the heart of Saskatoon’s business district, providing the perfect environment for community engagement.

Consider a future in business... at a business school that’s just the right size. Our 100+ award winning faculty and friendly staff allow for small class sizes and individualized support while the larger campus and Saskatoon community provide the social and professional activities business students crave!
