What it is	Mechanical Engineering teaches you to design, build, and improve machines and systems, from engines to robots. The Management option adds business and leadership courses alongside engineering, preparing you to lead projects and teams rather than focus purely on technical design. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid on-the-job experience with employers. It suits people who enjoy solving physical problems with math and physics, and want hands-on learning combined with real workplace exposure.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	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.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
