What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing.	You study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and general business management. Unlike a standard Commerce degree, this program requires you to complete mandatory work placements throughout your studies, alternating between classroom and paid work terms at companies. It suits students who want to build professional experience and industry connections while earning, and who prefer learning through real-world application alongside theory.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory.
