The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree offered through the Department of Business and Administration is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in business, in the private, public or non-profit sectors. We nurture socially conscious business leaders and entrepreneurs that are capable of adapting to the ever-changing needs of the modern business world.

The Business and Administration program develops critical thinking, analytic and decision-making abilities, oral and written communication skills, and the self-confidence to effectively apply these skills. Some courses in the program are taught using the case method, a simulation of real business situations from the perspective of the actual decision-maker. Computer-based simulations, experiential exercises, guest speakers, and field trips are also used to connect course material to the business world. A new co-op work-study program allows students to add career real work experience to their UW Degree.

Bachelor of Business Administration (4 years)

Our flagship four-year BBA prepares students for managerial work and also for further study in business administration such as an MBA or other graduate degree program. In the four-year program, you may choose between a 'general stream' degree or a targeted Area of Concentration. We offer several distinct and focused Areas of Concentration:

Marketing
International Business
Co-operative Enterprises
Accounting
Human Resource Management & Organizational Behaviour
Operations Management (coming soon!)

It is not unusual for students to pursue two Concentrations simultaneously (e.g., Marketing and International Business) in our four-year program.

Bachelor of Business Administration (3 years)

The three-year BBA is an excellent complement to a major or degree in another field and is intended to be readily accessible as a part of a double degree program upon completion of additional coursework.
