“Making the choice to get my BBA from Nipissing is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I’ve often experienced scepticism from others regarding the opportunities Nipissing University can offer students because it is a smaller institution; take it from me that Nipissing’s smaller size is actually one of the most beneficial opportunities a business student can get in this competitive industry. Building professional relationships with professors, peers and community businesses has opened up more opportunities for experiential learning and career paths, both locally and internationally, than I could have ever imagined. The tight-knit and supportive community at NipissingU offers opportunities that are second to none!”

“The education I received at Nipissing University truly prepared me for my successful career in commercial banking. I graduated from the School of Business’ BBA program with minors in both Accounting & Economics in 2015. The intimate class sizes compared to larger Universities made it possible to build a strong rapport with my professors, who I viewed as mentors. This was invaluable for me, especially as a 1st generation student. I am so grateful for the memories, friendships, education, and experiences, including one of my favourite opportunities, studying a semester abroad in France. I highly recommend the program and the University.”
Racheal Costello, BBA 2015
