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.	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.	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.
