Overview
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a four-year, 120-credit degree at Ambrose University in Calgary, preparing students to work in commercial, nonprofit, and public-sector organizations across the Canadian and global economy. The curriculum covers core business topics such as business ethics and sustainability, organizational behaviour, consumer behaviour, brand management, and project management, taken at a full load of roughly five courses per semester. Students choose one of four specialization streams: Accounting, accredited by CPA Canada; Business Intelligence and Analytics; Human Resources and Organizational Development, accredited by CPHR Alberta; or Marketing. No co-op placement or mandatory practicum is part of the structure. Graduates have gone on to roles such as sales and marketing manager, project manager, business analyst, and accountant. The degree suits students seeking a broad, specialization-focused business education delivered in a traditional classroom setting. Admission requires Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 or equivalent with a minimum grade of 60%, alongside Ambrose's general application requirements.

The Bachelor of Business Administration adds a specific prerequisite: Math 30-1 or Math 30-2 (or equivalent) with a grade of 60% or higher.

Applications require a completed form, fee, official transcripts in English, and proof of English proficiency where required.
