The Ivey HBA program is a 2 + 2 program. You spend your first two years in any program or faculty and typically join the Ivey HBA Program in your third year. Keep this in mind as you compare the costs of the Ivey HBA Program to other undergraduate business programs. It is important to consider the overall (usually 4 year) cost of the programs.
