Sheridan’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) (Finance) program has been designed to respond to the rapidly changing business world. There’s an unmet demand for financial education given the large-scale retirements of baby boomers from the professional workforce and the fact that business programs at traditional universities are running at capacity. This new BBA degree has been designed to fill this gap. The first two years of the new BBA (Finance) degree will be common with the other new BBA degrees in order to provide a solid grounding in business fundamentals while the later years will provide a focus on financial management, securities analysis, risk management, portfolio management and performance evaluation, while giving you the opportunity to study Investment Analysis, Corporate Finance or Wealth Management. The emphasis on the management aspect will ensure you’re able to assess the impact of finance on the overall objectives and performance of a business. You’ll also have the option of selecting one of three interdisciplinary options: International Business; Innovation & Entrepreneurship; and Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability. This will build your capacity to respond to new situations in a rapidly changing world and help you succeed personally and professionally in ways that better society. To ensure your success the new BBA degree features an innovative educational approach that guides you in in the development of your critical, creative and reflective thinking capacity. This will allow you to develop your personal awareness while also being able to fully evaluate business processes so that you’re able to draw and articulate defensible conclusions in response to complex business situations. In your final year you must also complete a community based Integrated Industry Project or Research Thesis. In parallel with your academic studies, you’ll also develop a Creative Learning Portfolio which fosters your self-awareness, reflective practice and an open mindset through the integration of activities. Internship In order to graduate, you’re required to complete a one-semester internship. You may also apply for a four-term co-op program. This work experience will fulfill many of the program learning outcomes and will prepare you for employment in your field of study.
