What it is	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	You study the fundamentals of running a business: accounting, finance, human resources, and strategy, along with emerging areas like artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. This co-op program alternates classroom learning with paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on business skills and prefer learning by doing rather than pure theory.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
