| What it is | You study how money, markets, and resources work in society, learning to analyze economic data and understand policy decisions that affect people's lives. You can focus on general economics, combine it with political science, or specialize in resource and environmental economics if you have stronger math and science preparation. This suits people curious about why economies function as they do and who want practical skills in financial analysis or policy work. | You study the core functions of business — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and economics — and learn how to manage them together in real organizations. This four-year program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work in actual companies. It suits people who want practical business skills and real-world experience before graduating. | 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 BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take. |
