What it is	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make choices about money, resources, and trade. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want to understand how economies work and prefer learning through a mix of theory and hands-on practice.	You study business fundamentals combined with specialized training in human resources — how to recruit, develop, manage, and support employees within organizations. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program focuses specifically on HR strategy, workplace relations, and people management. It suits students interested in organizational leadership who want practical work experience alongside their coursework, since the co-op option integrates paid internships into your studies.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.
