Combined Degree - Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) & Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Chemical Engineering (EE)

Unlike traditional business schools that expect students to choose a specialization early on, the 2+2 program structure of the Ivey Honours of Business Administration (HBA) offers students the freedom to explore their academic interests before choosing their career options. In the first two years, students can study in any faculty or program. This opportunity to gain new life experiences ensures that HBA students and their classmates bring diverse and more seasoned perspectives to their business education. The combination of a deep knowledge of business and another academic or professional field makes for a strong career foundation. Students can apply their first two years of university study at Western to two degrees.

Students in this program will have the option to complete a four year Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (HBA) or to study for five years and combine the HBA with an Honours Bachelor of Engineering. While in their first year at Ivey (HBA 1), students will apply for one of the combined degree programs. If admitted, they will spend their fourth and fifth years of university studying a combination of business courses and required courses in their second degree area. In five years, they will have completed two degrees.

All Engineering students will complete a common first year, meaning all students take the same courses allowing them to experience various disciplines of engineering before deciding on an area of specialization. After completing the common first year, students will enroll in one of nine programs. During the common first year, students will solve real engineering problems. They will be provided with the fundamentals needed for success in upper years, while exploring various engineering disciplines.

After completing Western Engineering’s Common First Year, students can enroll in the Chemical Engineering program. In their third year of study, students will have the opportunity to choose one of the following options: General Chemical Engineering or Biochemical and Environmental Engineering.

The General Chemical Engineering option explores traditional chemical engineering processes and applications. The objective of the program is to combine and integrate the fundamental principles of chemical and biochemical engineering to design commercial processes and plants that make consumer products that are both economical and environmentally friendly. Among the distinguishing features of Western's program is the emphasis on prevention of pollution at the source before by integrating innovative design principles of physical, chemical and biological processes.
