What it is	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory.	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.
