What you study	Artificial Intelligence Business Studies	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
What it is	You study how to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to solve real business problems: everything from predicting customer behaviour to optimizing operations. This program combines computer science and business strategy rather than treating them separately, so you learn both the technical skills to build AI systems and the business judgment to know when and how to use them. It suits people who like math and coding but also want to understand how companies actually make decisions.	You study the core functions of business — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and economics — and learn how to manage them together in real organizations. This four-year program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work in actual companies. It suits people who want practical business skills and real-world experience before graduating.
