About Bachelor Of Business Administration in St. Lawrence College

Overview

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.
