What it is	This program teaches you how to manage, organize, and run businesses of all sizes.

It suits people who want practical business experience alongside theory and prefer learning by doing.	You study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and general business management. Unlike a standard Commerce degree, this program requires you to complete mandatory work placements throughout your studies, alternating between classroom and paid work terms at companies. It suits students who want to build professional experience and industry connections while earning, and who prefer learning through real-world application 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.	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.
