What it is	A BBA is a four-year program where you study how organizations work: accounting, finance, management, marketing, and strategy. Unlike a general business degree, you complete a mandatory co-op work term, alternating semesters in school with paid work in a real business setting. This program suits students who want hands-on experience before graduation and plan to move into business roles.	You study business management skills applied specifically to sports organizations — think how teams, leagues, fitness facilities, or event companies actually operate. This double degree gives you credentials in both sport management and general business, rather than just one, making you broadly qualified across different sectors of the sports industry. It suits people who want to work in sports but need solid business fundamentals alongside sport-specific knowledge.	You study business and commerce while also taking significant courses in humanities — literature, history, philosophy, or social sciences — rather than focusing on business alone. This integration means you graduate with both a business foundation and the analytical and communication skills humanities develops, making you different from a straight commerce program. It suits students who want business skills but also value critical thinking across cultures and ideas, and who are comfortable with a broader curriculum.
