What it is	Social Communication is an interdisciplinary program that teaches you how to craft and spread messages across different media and audiences. You study journalism, marketing, media analysis, and publicity techniques together rather than in separate streams, so you understand how these fields overlap in real-world communication work. It suits people who want to communicate for organizations, media outlets, or campaigns and prefer a broad foundation over specializing in just one area early on.	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.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology.
