You will examine the roles individuals, consumers, small businesses, managers, CEOs and politicians play in shaping both the Canadian and global economies. This certificate is a stand-alone program intended for visiting international students and for members of the community interested in economics.


The Certificate of Proficiency in French Communication and Culture will help you deepen your mastery of French. You will strengthen your writing, speaking and translation skills and study the poetry, prose and films of writers and directors from nearby Acadie and from around the world. Students who complete the certificate program can move on to the Diplôme de Bilinguisme (Certificate Level Two).

The Certificate in General Studies is open to all interested individuals, but it is intended for students attending university for the first time. A general studies certificate is a great steppingstone to a degree program.
