| What it is | Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, trade, and resources. In this bachelor's degree, you learn economic theory, data analysis, and real-world problem-solving through courses that examine everything from personal finance to global markets. This program suits students who want to understand how the economy works and are interested in careers in business, policy, finance, or research. | You study how economies work: money, trade, jobs, markets, and government policy. This BA degree lets you choose a co-op option, meaning you alternate between semesters of classes and paid work terms at organizations that use economic analysis. It suits people who want both theoretical understanding and real workplace experience before deciding whether to pursue economics further. | 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. |
