SAIT courses, any recommendations?
I'm going to be applying for SAIT very soon here for the Sept. semmester, prob by mon or tues for sure. I was thinking of Taking Business Admin or Business Admin - Automotive. Does anyone have any feedback from these courses? Also, does anyone have any other courses they wanna share with me, I'm not 100% sure on what I wanna do, and if someone mentions something interesting, I might change my mind. All feedback is welcome

RedlyneMr2 is in Automotive Marketing. It's a good program if you want a career in the auto industry. I believe it's a three year program with the last two completed in Barrie ONtario. It includes a co-op program so you work and make some $$$ between semesters. I'll allow him to explain more.
I'm finishing up the Business Administration diploma right now, and IMO, it was money well spent. We have quite a few Beyond members in that program including 2000impreza, acuraxx, blue devil2, acs-e36, big banana and a few more I can't remember at the moment. Upon completion you have the option to transfer to Athabasca, Devry, U of L to complete your degree.
Oh yah, in Business Admin, if you get a 3.2GPA in your first year, they automatically send you a nice cheque for $1000

Oh well... Anyways, Boost is right. I am finishing up my final semester in the BA program aswell, and it is money well spent. It will give you a wide variety of potentials jobs when you get out of school. So its defineately a good choice. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I started school and this seemed like something that would be just a good basic grounding for a job after school..

Alright thanks for all this info guys, keep it coming!
Quick question, Can you just take the 4 year diploma at SAIT and then not do the transfer? or would you need to?
Registered User
They are trying to get the second year so you can take it here instead of at Barrie. Im taking Automotive marketing this fall maybe i will see you there.
Rev high, ride low.

I wasn't sure either until I opened my mail X-mas eve. Anyway, it was 3.0 for last year's students to get the scholarship, they are raising it to 3.2 for next year!!Originally posted by DJ Lazy

yea I'm very interested in the Automotive one, I'm really into cars. I'm just wondering if you took the basic BA if you could get into automotive after you finished school?

IMO, Sait is a waste of time. The business admin program limits your after diplom choices greatly.
I wish i had just upgraded my high school marks rather than gone to sait.
Just another opinion i guess.

I think the options available upon completion of business administration is very favourable. Accounting majors can transfer to U of C for Bachelor of Accounting Science or stay at SAIT to finish the Bachelor of Applied Business Administration. You will receive the CGA designation after the four years at SAIT. Alternatively you can also transfer to U of L (3.0 GPA required) or Athabasca University to complete one of there business programs. Given the current state of U of C and how competitive everything is, SAIT is very attractive for many people. Cheaper tuition, smaller classes and the guarantee of a business diploma with the said options above.

yea people have been telling me to upgrade and then go to U of C rather then go to SAIT, but the business admin is pretty much the only thing I'm really looking at currently, as nothing else has really caught my eye at the moment. But so far the favour is high for SAIT, so I guess I'll be attending there this coming September.

Im not sure what you are asking here but you can take 2 years in BA for the diploma then take UofL night classes at the SAIT campus to get a degree. I am not sure how many years of night classes this will take, I guess it depends on how many courses you take. Hope this helps your question.Originally posted by teknical

I am in my 4th semester at SAIT in BA as well and I think that it is a really good program. I havent heard much about the automotive one.

well on their website it says that the BA is a 4 year program.

Are the options favorable without further schooling? Not for any decent paying job.Originally posted by max_boost

According to SAIT it is, but statistics are often altered. IMO, ultimately it comes down to the individual whether success is garnered or not. There are no guarantees in life, regardless where you graduate.Originally posted by TrevorK

A good example? Realtors, I know so many that don't even have a high school diploma yet are doing extremely well.

yea, it you can sell, you will do very well. I just applied for SAIT, business admin for the fall 04, looking forward to it!

i think it is all about personal preferance... i was accepted to commerce at UofC, but decided against it, because it is way to competitive right now. There are so many people that will graduate in these next few years that even with a degree it will be very tough to find work.
IMO, sait opens a lot of doors for a variety of different jobs, and the opportunity to complete your degree in many institutions... not to mention the smaller class sizes, and one on one interaction available with your instructors...
good luck next semester

Of course you can find people who can make money with a highschool diploma, but on average no.
Just like on average, people graduating SAIT in business are probably looking at 8-12/hour to start. Look at some of the online postings (We have it here at NAIT so you should have it at SAIT).

From there - go to those jobs, find out all your answers (Don't listen to what the school says they make).
