What it isA business program that focuses on marketing — how companies promote and sell products and services to customers. You study general business topics like accounting and management alongside specialized marketing courses covering consumer behaviour, advertising, and digital strategy. The co-op option lets you work at real companies for paid terms, giving you hands-on experience while you complete your degree.You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, with options to specialize in areas like artificial intelligence applications or data management. Unlike a general business degree, this program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs with employers. It suits people who want practical workplace experience alongside their business education and are ready to commit time to both studying and working.You study business subjects like accounting, finance, and marketing alongside teacher training in a single four-year degree. Unlike a regular business degree, you earn two qualifications at once and complete a co-op work placement, giving you classroom teaching experience while finishing your studies. This suits people who want to become teachers but also want solid grounding in business skills or who are still deciding between those two career paths.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.
