Bachelor of Business
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Business (BBus) is an undergraduate degree comprising 24 units taken over 3 years of full-time study (or part-time equivalent).
In your first year as a BBus student, you will take core units introducing accounting, law, marketing, management and microeconomics. Before the end of your first year, you will be able to nominate a business major in which to specialise - either accounting, financial planning, human resource management or management. The major will comprise 8 units from that discipline (9 for the Accounting major).
Alongside your major, you will also take core units in research skills. This works towards a major project in your final year in which you will research a real-world organisation, diagnose issues and present solutions.
You can enrich your major with a minor in a second business discipline. Sheridan offers minors in business law, economics, financial planning, human resource management, international business, marketing, management and not-for-profit management. Alternatively, you may decide to broaden your studies by selecting general electives from faculties such as the humanities and social sciences or mathematics, physical sciences and life sciences.
All undergraduate students also take one core unit per year from the School of Christian Studies.
Course Structure
The Bachelor of Business (BBus) comprises 24 units of study (or subjects). Each unit represents 3 credit points. To fulfil the requirements of the BBus award, you will need to complete a minimum of 72 credit points.
Common Core units (12 units):
As a Sheridan BBus student, you will take core units common to all BBus students in all three years of your study. There are three types of common core units:
- Core Business units (6 units)
- Core Research units (3 units)
- Core Christian Studies units (3 units)
Major units (8 units):
You may choose from one of the following fields of study for your major:
- Accounting
- Financial Planning
- Human Resource Management
- Management
You will do a minimum of eight units specific to that discipline (nine for the Accounting major), including a minimum of at least four Level-300 units. You may also nominate a double major. Adding a second major will usually require taking additional units and will extend the length of your Bachelor degree by one or more semesters.
Minor / General electives (4 units, or 3 for the Accounting major):
In addition to your major, you can construct a minor within your Bachelor of Business degree. A minor comprises four 200/300-level units in a business discipline that is not your major and provides you with a second specialisation.
