BUSINESS & ADMINISTRATION

Business and Administration explores the concepts, techniques, and challenges involved in
helping organizations achieve their objectives.

The world is changing, the demands of employers are evolving and challenges that were once local are now
global. Recognizing change, adapting to it and being ready for it, are the hallmarks of good business
leadership. At The University of Winnipeg, business education means getting ready for the future by helping
students develop solid fundamental skills along with flexible abilities to face the future with confidence.

This program leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (3-year or 4-year).

The 4-year BBA prepares students for managerial work and for further study in business administration such
as an MBA or other graduate degree program. The 4-year degree is equivalent to a Bachelor of Commerce
at other Canadian universities. You may opt to follow the General Stream or choose one of the Subject
Specific Concentrations. For the concentrations, please see page 2.

Students can also pursue a 3-Year BBA, which provides them with the basic conceptual tools and core
business knowledge.

Another option is the Joint University of Winnipeg / Red River College Business Administration
Program -- see separate fact sheet for details.

Graduates of the Business and Administration program are qualified for entry-level positions in business,
