Just one year after receiving Honourable Mention in 2006, Brock University was named the Bronze Collegiate Chapter in 2007 - the highest ranking attained by any Canadian Business School. <ref>[http://www.betagammasigma.org/outstanding.htm Beta Gamma Sigma]</ref> |

|||
== Undergraduate Programs == |
|||
=== Business Administration (BBA) === |
|||
The '''Brock BBA''' program is a nationally-renowned undergraduate business degree program.

Brock's Accounting Co-op Program is the second largest in Canada and is one of only two universities in [[Ontario]] to have its undergraduate accounting program fully accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. This accreditation has resulted in Brock's Faculty of Business becoming the institution of choice for students studying to become [[Chartered Accountant]]s. Unlike other programs, where students are required to take additional courses on top of their degree program, students enrolled in Brock's BAcc program are able to fulfill all 51 credit hours concurrently while completing their degree.<ref>http://www.icao.on.ca/Public/ICAOFundinginAccountingInOntario/1014page4565.aspx</ref> |
|||

|||
Brock's '''Dual Degree Program''' is a revolutionary undergraduate degree program. The program is offered in association with The [[European Business School]], International University Schloss Reichartshausen (EBS), which is ranked as one of the top business schools in Germany. Brock students complete the first five semesters at Brock and the remaining three semesters at EBS. Each student, upon successful completion of the course of studies will receive two degrees: The Bachelor of Business Administration, International Business concentration degree from Brock and a Bachelor of Science degree from EBS. <ref>[http://www.bus.brocku.ca/current/undergraduate/handbook/dualdegreeprogram.html Brock Faculty of Business]</ref> |
|||
== Graduate Programs == |
|||
=== Master of Business Administration (MBA) === |
|||
The '''Brock MBA''' program is offered in both a part-time option as well as a 12-month program. It offers a wide range of professional develop opportunities, appealing to both recent graduates from across Canada and around the world as well as executives from many of Southern Ontario’s top corporations.

Students can specialize in one of three streams: General, Tax, or Information Systems. <ref>[http://www.bus.brocku.ca/macc/ Brock Faculty of Business]</ref> |
|||
=== Master of Science (MSc) === |
|||
The '''Brock MSc''' program allows students with relevant undergraduate degrees to further focus their studies in a particular functional area of business. |
|||
These more research-oriented programs are consistent with an increasing demand on the part of industry and government for researchers and consultants in the various disciplines of business. The primary objective of the MSc program is to provide students with depth and breadth of knowledge in a specialized area that would allow them to pursue further levels of education. |
|||
