What it is	You study the business side of running airlines and aviation companies, combining management training with technical knowledge of how aircraft and flight operations work. Unlike a general business degree, this program includes aerospace engineering content so you understand the operational reality of what you're managing. It suits people who want careers in airline management, airport operations, or aviation administration and are comfortable with both business coursework and technical material.	You study core business topics — accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour — alongside specialized management courses that prepare you to lead teams and make strategic decisions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you professional experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on business training and either prefer to earn while studying or want to test different industries 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.
