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 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.	You study business and law together in one integrated six-year program instead of pursuing them separately. You earn qualifications in both commercial sciences and law (Juris Doctor), which means you graduate ready to work in business law, corporate strategy, or general legal practice without taking law school as a separate step afterward. This suits people drawn to both business management and the legal system who want a faster path to combining those fields professionally.
