The Faculty of Business offers four-year, 20 credit programs in Accounting and Business Administration. A subsequent degree is available in the Bachelor of Accounting program for students holding an undergraduate degree in another discipline. The Faculty of Business also offers a Bachelor of General and Applied Studies to qualified students from the Seneca College three-year Accounting and Finance Program. A five credit Minor in Business is open to Brock students pursuing degrees in other Faculties.

Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc)

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 Bachelor of Accounting program is offered as a regular four-year Honours program and on a Co-operative work/study basis. This is a limited enrolment program. On successful completion of the program, the degree Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) is awarded.

Bachelor of Accounting Co-operative (Co-op)

The Co-op program is fully accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. Students work in a wide variety of locations throughout Ontario. The program scheduling combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Students must register with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario on a conditional basis at the beginning of the first work period. Chartered Accountant students must accumulate a minimum of 30 months work experience, six months of which must follow the completion of the Bachelor of Accounting degree. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op Accounting students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees). Students awarded more than 5.0 transfer credits normally are not considered for the Bachelor of Accounting Co-op stream. The Bachelor of Accounting Co-op program is not open to international VISA students.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

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.

The Bachelor of Business Administration program is offered as a regular four-year Honours program and on a Co-operative work/study basis. This is a limited enrolment program. On successful completion of the program, the degree Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is awarded.

The requirement for graduation with a BBA (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirement for graduation with a BBA is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average. Only those students, admitted to a concentration, who graduate with a BBA (Honours) will have their concentration recognized on their diploma and official transcript.

All BBA students are required to take a number of core courses. At the end of year 2 students may apply for admission to an area of concentration.

Business Administration Co-operative (Co-op)

The BBA Co-op program is a limited enrolment program combining academic and work terms over a four and one-half 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. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees). Students awarded more than 5.0 transfer credits normally are not considered for the Bachelor of Business Administration Co-op stream.

The BBA Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.
