What it isA 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 how businesses market products and services to customers, covering advertising, consumer behaviour, market research, and brand strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program focuses specifically on marketing. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms with employers during your degree, alternating with classroom study. This suits students who want practical experience in marketing while earning and networking with companies.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.
