At Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada, BA/BS in Business Administration (BBA) is offered as a bachelor's degree in Business Administration programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 44,332 per year (CAD 10,564 per year for local students).
This Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a four-year undergraduate degree delivered in person at Wilfrid Laurier University's Waterloo campus, beginning each September. The first year builds foundations in accounting, economics, calculus, and critical thinking within a cohort structure, after which students select one of nine concentrations: accounting, business and sustainability, entrepreneurship, finance, human resources, insurance and risk management, marketing, strategic management, or supply chain management. Co-op is optional; students who apply after first year can complete three four-month work terms over the course of the degree. Classroom learning is supplemented throughout all four years with case competitions, business simulations, and projects connected to industry. The program is structured for students who want direct entry into business studies with early access to a professional focus area, and who are interested in combining coursework with extended co-op placements en route to a business career.
