What it is	This program teaches you to extract useful information from large datasets using mathematics, programming, and statistics. You'll study how to build and use artificial intelligence models, manage data systems, and apply these skills to real business and financial problems. The co-op component means you'll work in relevant jobs during your studies, alternating with classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want practical experience applying these skills before graduation.	This program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating.	International Business is a business degree that prepares you to work across borders and cultures, combining core business subjects like accounting, management, and marketing with a focus on global economics and international development. Unlike a general business program, it emphasizes the particular skills and knowledge needed for companies operating in multiple countries. It suits students interested in trade, global markets, or managing international teams, and who are comfortable with both quantitative and social science coursework.
