University Diploma - Business Administration

Yukon College’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) aims to create business leaders who will increase prosperity where they live and work. Many northern rural and remote areas of Canada and the world are well positioned to expand, develop and provide rich and rewarding places to live and work. This degree is created for those interested in making a difference in these places. Students will be exposed to values, knowledge and skills that prepare them to work well and collaboratively within the business and governance context of the north. This BBA is distinctive in that it has been created from a de-colonial perspective. The curriculum is rooted in the context of Yukon University's unique identity and circumstances that are common to much of the world. The school's identity is closely tied to the land and wilderness, and to First Nations’ traditions and cultures. However, many of the circumstances that define the unique territory of the Yukon; low population densities, vast distances and remoteness, higher costs, and operating environments that often require people to work independently while fulfilling broad roles are common beyond urban centres. The programs balance the academic rigor necessary for baccalaureate-level training while fostering communal growth through experiential learning and creating a supportive learning community. Graduates leave Yukon College prepared to create and sustain prosperity in places and circumstances akin to the territory of the Yukon's, but wherever they call home.
