Domestic Students
Why do people from all over British Columbia come to learn at Acsenda’s Vancouver business school? For the same reasons that people from all over the world do.
They want flexibility and choice. They want small classes and open access to instructors. And they want a business education with an international, cross-cultural perspective—one that will equip them for the reality of international business today from the perspective of international students and faculty.
NOTE: A domestic student is a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident of Canada.
