Make your dream a reality

Our BBA program will give you the perspective and skills you need to be successful

What kind of career do you dream about? Where would you like your career to take you?

Whatever career in business you  are thinking about, we are confident that our BBA program will provide you with the solid academic credentials and the practical business skills you will need to get there.

The four year BBA program at UNB Fredericton involves a combination of required and elective business courses, as well as courses from various other disciplines on campus that teach students to think creatively, solve problems, take responsibility and communicate effectively -  the kind of skills you need to start building the career of your dreams.

Benefits of our BBA program

When asked to identify the strengths of our business programs, students frequently cite the quality of our professors, our small class sizes and the level of student support.

Our professors are regularly published in prestigious academic journals and are recognized for their teaching and research, both nationally and internationally. They are dedicated to enhancing the learning environment through their role as mentors.

The seating capacity of our business courses are small compared to larger universities. Class sizes range from 10 to 50, so this means our professors to get to know their students, guide their projects and provide special support.

Integrating reality with dreams


Outside the classroom our academic advisors help students select the best business courses to help them prepare for their career choices. We have academic advisors in our Programs and Student Services office, as well as a Co-op Coordinator and part-time student advisors. These advisors are there to help students make the right choices and succeed in the business program so that the career of their dreams can become a reality. 

All first year students participate in academic orientation during their first week of school, just before classes begin. During this time students get to meet their professors and classmates, and get familiar with life on campus. Most importantly, every first year student is paired with a peer mentor, a successful senior student, who meets with them during orientation and throughout the first year to mentor them on how to succeed academically. This includes everything from good study skills to planning their schedules.
