Students can now start their Fanshawe business diploma in March or May – in addition to our traditional start dates in September or January.

The Lawrence Kinlin School of Business has added two additional start dates, giving students more flexibility. A March start date will appeal to students who complete secondary school in January and who are eager to start their post-secondary education. May will appeal to students who want a head-start on their studies.
