The International Guide to Undergraduate Business Programs, 1998

Alexander D. Gregor is director of the Centre for Higher Education
Research and Development at the University of Manitoba and the co-editor
of Postsecondary Education in Canada: The Cultural Agenda.

This well-organized and user-friendly guide focuses on five countries:
Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. Comprehensive guidelines, glossaries, and indexes assist the
prospective student through the step-by-step decision-making involved in
the selection of an appropriate school. For students who decide to
pursue their postsecondary education in another country, there is
information on such matters as visa requirements. Tear-out postcards (or
fax orders) can be used to secure further information.

Following an overview of business education (important trends, tips on
program evaluation, etc.), the book is divided by country. Each section
is introduced by a map, an overview of the country and its postsecondary
education system, and information on fees, cost of living, medical
insurance, housing, and the like. A comparative chart outlines key
elements of the individual programs (length, majors, requirements,
tuition fees, co-op opportunities, etc.). Two-page profiles of each
institution provide information on costs, admissions (requirements,
deadlines, fees), number of and support for international students, and
the city and setting in which the institution is located. In addition to
the 160 programs profiled, there is capsule contact information on
another 400 programs.

The International Guide to Undergraduate Business Programs would be a
valuable addition to any library or office that provides information on
career choices within Canada or internationally.
