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 law together over six years instead of doing them separately. The combined degree lets you take courses in both fields and finish with credentials in commerce and law, rather than choosing one path. It suits people who want to understand both how businesses operate and how legal systems regulate them, and who are considering careers that bridge business strategy, corporate law, or compliance.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
