Brock BBA program
There are some good courses that are very current with today's news, but your experience really depends on the professors you get. Some just directly follow a book that isn't really useful, others rely solely on exams which doesn't work for everyone, some aren't engaging; you have to ask friends and ratemyprof to make sure you get good profs.
