What it is	Business Administration is a broad program where you study how organizations operate, make decisions, and manage resources. You'll learn about accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and strategy across various industries. The co-op component means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students interested in business fundamentals who want to build a foundation before specializing, and who value learning on the job.

It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
