What it is	Visual Studies is the study of how images, film, photography, and design communicate meaning and shape culture. You'll learn theory, history, and hands-on practice across cinematography, photography, fine art, and design. This program suits students who want to understand visual culture deeply and develop creative skills, rather than train narrowly for a specific design or film production role.	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.
