There are of course programs which look very much like what other Schools would call a BBA - which still lead to degrees with other titles. Such titles include MBL (Master of Business Leadership predominantly in S. Africa), MBS (Master of Business Studies), MSc and MA as well as more specialist degrees e.g., Master of Finance.
