What it is	A Marketing program teaches you how businesses promote products and services to customers using research, advertising, digital media, and sales strategy. You'll learn to analyze consumer behaviour, develop campaigns, and measure their success. This co-op option includes paid work terms with companies, so you gain real workplace experience alongside your coursework, which suits people who want to apply classroom learning to actual marketing jobs before graduating.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
