What it is	You study how businesses work and make decisions by combining practical business skills with economic theory — understanding markets, money, strategy, and how companies fit into the broader economy. Unlike a straight business or economics program alone, you learn both sides together, seeing how economic principles directly shape business choices. This program includes a co-op work term, so you spend time in an actual job alongside your classes. It suits people who want a business career but also care about understanding the bigger economic picture.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
