What it is	You study how to protect computer networks and systems from cyberattacks and security threats. The program combines practical networking skills with specialized knowledge in security protocols, encryption, and threat detection. It suits students who want technical IT work focused specifically on defending data and infrastructure rather than general software development or systems administration.	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.	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.
