What it is	This program teaches you the science of human movement and physical activity – how bodies work during exercise, sport, and recreation. You study physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science rather than coaching or fitness training alone. The co-op option lets you combine classroom learning with paid work terms at sports organizations, hospitals, or fitness centres, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. 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.	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.
