A five credit minor in Business is open to Brock students pursuing degrees in other Faculties. The Faculty of Business also offers a Bachelor of General and Applied Studies to qualified students from Seneca College.

The program in Accounting is designed for students pursuing careers in the accounting profession. The program is professionally oriented and combines a high degree of specialization in accounting along with studies in Business, the Social Sciences, Humanities and Mathematics and Science.

The program in Business Administration is designed for students pursuing careers in business and government. The program is professionally oriented and combines studies in the Business disciplines with studies in the Social Sciences, Humanities and Mathematics and Science.

Bachelor of Business Administration

The minimum grade requirement for admission to the Business Administration program is a 70 percent average on six OACs (or equivalent) including at least one Mathematics (calculus or finite preferred) and at least one OAC English. Students with an 80 percent average on six OACs and grade 12 mathematics are encouraged to apply for consideration by the Faculty. The curriculum in Business Administration is offered as a fouryear 20 credit program and on a co-operative work/study basis. On successful completion of the program, the degree of BBA (Honours) or BBA is awarded.

The requirement for graduation with a BBA (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent nonmajor average. The requirement for graduation with a BBA is a minimim 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

All BBA students are required to take a number of core courses. All students are expected to take the courses in the order prescribed below.

No student may take more than two of MKTG 4V90V99, V99, V99, V99, V95, V99. Please consult the Chair of the appropriate Department for details.

Business Administration Cooperative (Coop)

The BBA Coop program combines academic and work terms over a four and onehalf year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting studying the functional areas of business as well as the Canadian and global business environments prior to the first work term. The exposure to courses in the core areas of business provides the necessary academic background for the work experience.

Admission to the Co-op program is on the basis of marks and a review of personal résumés. This is a limited enrolment program. Admission is a function of employer availability. The normal requirement is an average of 80 percent or more on six OACs (or equivalent) including at least one OAC Mathematics (calculus or finite preferred) and at least one OAC English. An interview may be required. Students will be required to maintain honours standing (70 percent major average and 60 percent non-major average) in order to continue in the BBA Co-op program. Admission decisions will be made by the Faculty of Business BBA Coop Admissions Committee. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, BBA Coop students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

The requirement for graduation with a BBA (honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The BBA Coop program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Coop work experience.
