| What it is | You study how money, investments, and financial decisions work in businesses and markets. This program includes a mandatory co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at financial firms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want practical skills in finance and are willing to commit to structured work placements during their studies. | 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. | A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory. |
