BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BBA)
OVERVIEW
Laurentian University offers a four-year Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree at St. Lawrence College in Kingston. The program combines the theoretical underpinnings of university with the practical strengths of college. The relationship is all about providing access to education in a seamless manner, providing fair credit for prior academic and experiential learning.
There are two primary streams of access to the BBA degree program: an entry-level, four-year degree and an accelerated level designed for college diploma graduates where credit is given for prior learning and experience. The accelerated level entry permits the completion of the degree in as little as three academic terms. Find out more about applying and the levels - here.
The core subjects in the degree program cover the fundamentals of economics, accounting, financial information systems, financial management, management decision making, organizational behaviour, human resources, strategic planning, and marketing. Communication, analytical and computer skills are emphasized. Elective courses permit students to tailor the BBA to suit their own personal objectives.
In addition to securing full-time employment upon completion of the program, students may apply to graduate and professional programs. Recent graduates have gone on to Master's programs in areas including Business, Economics, and Finance, and to professional programs including Law (LLB), Education (BEd) and Accounting (CPA).

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
One of the distinguishing features of the Laurentian University BBA at St. Lawrence College is the significant position occupied by elective courses within the broader curriculum. For students enrolling in the four-year stream, fully 45% of all courses will be elective courses. This allows students to tailor the program to meet their particular needs and interests. Students may drill deeply into a particular subject area (e.g. Accounting) or explore any number of subject areas that may be of interest.
Students will typically be in classes of 40 students or less, and will often find themselves in classes of less than 20 students in upper year elective courses. This degree of intimacy allows for a richer, more interactive classroom experience.

REQUIREMENTS
Admission Requirements
- Full Disclosure of any other College or University Education:
Applicants to the Bachelor of Business Administration program must provide their full academic history, including official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended. Proof of current enrollment is required if currently enrolled at a college or university. Official transcripts and documentation are required for all courses, including those not leading to a completed credential, where credit was not granted, and where academic work was not related to the field of business. Failure to disclose previous post-secondary course work is considered academic misconduct under the academic integrity policy and may result in a revoked offer of admission or removal from the program.
- Your most recent post-secondary education must meet a minimum standard (65% overall average from College and 60% overall average from University) and you must be in good academic standing with your last college or university to be considered for entry. For applicants who receive an offer of admission and a final transcript reveals that the applicant did not meet the minimum standard, the College can revoke their offer of admission. If the applicant becomes a student in the program and a final transcript reveals that the student does not meet the minimum standard, the College can remove the student from the program.
