Program Overview

	Year 1 - Foundation: The first year of the BBA consists of introductory level courses in a broad range of areas, including economics, statistics, communications, math, accounting, and business. These courses provides students with the tools and background knowledge to progress to CORE.
	Year 2 - CORE: The CORE is a rigorous, focused year of study where students register with a common class cohort in eight required business courses, representing the major functional disciplines.
