What it is	You study business and commerce while also taking significant courses in humanities — literature, history, philosophy, or social sciences — rather than focusing on business alone. This integration means you graduate with both a business foundation and the analytical and communication skills humanities develops, making you different from a straight commerce program. It suits students who want business skills but also value critical thinking across cultures and ideas, and who are comfortable with a broader curriculum.	A BBA teaches you the fundamentals of running businesses and managing organizations: accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and operations. You study how companies make decisions and solve real-world problems. This program suits students who want a broad business education before specializing, or who aren't sure which business area interests them most yet.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
