What to watch for
Business Administration is direct entry at 70% (LOR in French), and Laurentian also publishes each stream as its own code — Accounting, Finance, Marketing, HR, Entrepreneurship, International Management. Sports Administration (LOE, 75%) is a separate degree. Laurentian is bilingual and publishes most programmes twice — an English code and a French code, usually at the same range. Apply to the language you will study in.
