What it isYou study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study how organizations work and make money. You take courses in accounting, finance, management, human resources, and economics, learning both theory and practical skills for running or working in a business. This program is taught in French, so you need strong French-language skills and must complete foundational math courses, making it suited to students who want a business education while developing or maintaining French fluency.You study the fundamentals of running businesses and organizations, covering topics like marketing, human resources, economics, and entrepreneurship. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want a broad business foundation with flexible entry points into different industries, and who value learning by doing.You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management — at two Lakehead campuses in Ontario and complete mandatory work terms alongside your courses. This structure differs from a standard business degree by splitting your education between Thunder Bay and Orillia and requiring you to alternate semesters of study with paid work experience. It suits students who want practical industry exposure while earning a degree and are comfortable moving between campuses.
