What it isYou study how governments, organizations, and institutions make decisions and solve public problems, combining politics, policy analysis, and communication. The program lets you focus on areas like international development, social policy, or media's role in public discourse, and you can pair it with a communication degree if you want. It suits people interested in working in government, non-profits, advocacy groups, or international organizations where understanding policy and public issues matters more than technical expertise.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.You study business management and related fields like accounting, human resources, or entrepreneurship while alternating between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. This co-op structure means you graduate with real workplace experience alongside your degree. The dual degree option lets you complete part of your studies at a partner institution abroad, typically NEOMA Business School in France, combining international education with Canadian credentials. This suits students who want hands-on business experience, practical skills, and potentially a global perspective before entering the workforce.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.
