What it is	You study how to record, organize, and analyze financial information for businesses and organizations. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you'll spend time applying what you learn in actual workplaces alongside your courses. It suits people comfortable with numbers and detail who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.	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.
