Bachelor of Business Administration at College of the Rockies

While sustainability is the focus, a combination of liberal arts, science and specific business courses make up this four-year degree. We are proud to say that our students regularly earn medals at the Western Canadian Business Competition, due in part, we’re sure, to our small class sizes which allow our faculty to provide more personalized attention.

The BBA is designed to be flexible and accessible. You can choose to study full-time or part-time, in traditional classrooms or online.  You can also choose to focus with specific electives, and enter or exit the program at various points. Qualifying courses from other institutions may be used to meet some of the upper level course requirements.
