Athabasca, Alberta, Canada
Athabasca University (AU) is Canada's Open University and one of four research-intensive, publicly funded institutions in Alberta, Canada.
Athabasca University's Faculty of Business is a global leader in online business education, delivering high-quality, asynchronous, flexible programs that allow students to learn anytime, anywhere. Celebrating over 25 years since launching the world's first online MBA in 1994, AU continues to revolutionize distance learning for working professionals.
We offer a comprehensive suite of programs—from undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce and Management degrees to graduate-level programs such as the MBA, DBA, graduate diploma, and professional certificates. Our curriculum and pedagogy are recognized and accredited by top-tier bodies: AACSB accreditation places AU among fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide. At the same time, endorsements and recognition by top Canadian professional associations, such as the Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) for HR majors, the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), and the Supply Chain Management Professional (SMP) pathways to our MBA program, enhance professional credibility.
The Government of Alberta recognizes it and reports through the Ministry of Advanced Education. All quality assurance processes and new program proposals undergo external review by the Campus Alberta Quality Council. Grounded in industry partnerships and academic research, the Faculty of Business remains committed to accessible, innovative, and excellence-driven education, aiming to be the top choice for online business students across the English-speaking world.
If you are looking for an accredited, recognized Canadian degree and still want to be based in your country, Athabasca's online programs could be your choice. Let us know how we can help you.
