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.	You study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.	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.
