What it is	This program combines the study of media, communication, and information technology — learning how messages are created, shared, and understood across digital and traditional platforms alongside practical IT skills. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work placements in media, tech, or communications companies, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students interested in how technology shapes storytelling and public conversation, who want hands-on workplace experience before graduating.	Social Science is the study of how societies work: economics, history, politics, psychology, and international development. You choose which subjects to focus on and how to combine them, rather than following a single fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and global problems who want flexibility to explore multiple angles rather than specializing early.	You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
