Bachelor of Business Administration Degree

L-R: Robert MacDonald, Amy Lean MacArthur, Heather Steeves, and Alan Chan

Statistics Canada says that, regardless of the number of university programs offered across the country, Business/Commerce continues to be the number one program of choice for students.

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Degree at ABU is somewhat unique in Atlantic Canada because it begins with a liberal arts core. This gives students a dual advantage: a solid liberal arts foundation and skills necessary for a professional career in various areas of business administration.

It is also unique in Atlantic Canada in that we approach the study of business in light of the Christian faith. The program is also completely integrated with the latest technology. A fully equipped computer lab affords students access to the World Wide Web where the world and all the information that is on the web is at their fingertips. The use of technology is also practically integrated into many of our courses.

The BBA in Business Administration program consists of:
• A concentration in the field of Accounting, which satisfies many requirements of the Professional
Accounting Associations in Canada, i.e. CA, CGA, CMA.
• Courses in two other major fields of Business Administration studies: Marketing and Management.

These, along with a wide range of business related courses, provide Business graduates from ABU with a great set of marketable skills for which today’s employers are looking.

Why major in Business Administration?

David Foot, in his book, Boom, Bust, Echo says: “ . . . investment dealers, mutual fund companies, financial planners, and banks are poised for major growth over the next two decades” (p. 51). Our lives cannot exist outside of the business environment. Every day we interact with the world of business: buying a loaf of bread, filling your car with gas, making a deposit or withdrawal at your local banking machine. These tasks that are commonplace to us today require personnel to supervise, manage and maintain.

At ABU we equip students to interact effectively in this business environment, and to be “movers and shakers” in a global business environment. At ABU, we also equip students with skills for the future. These skills will provide students with opportunities that will make them more compatible with the employment scene, no matter how it changes.

Export Partnering Program

This program partners ABU with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (A.C.O.A.) and small business enterprises. It provides, from time to time, the opportunity for senior Business Administration students to participate in a practical international marketing program. This program is 26 weeks in duration and ends with a short trade mission organized by A.C.O.A. In 2000-2001 ABU partnered with three businesses and attended the trade mission to New England in the U.S.A. This program provides a key element to business education for the next millennium—international experience. This keeps ABU and its students at the forefront of training in the field of global marketing.
