What it is	You study how governments, economies, and organizations actually work together, combining business management with political and economic analysis. Unlike a straight business degree, this program integrates policy and political systems into your core learning. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real employers, letting you test what you learn in actual jobs. It suits people who want business skills but also care about how policy and politics shape markets and management.	International Business is a business degree that prepares you to work across borders and cultures, combining core business subjects like accounting, management, and marketing with a focus on global economics and international development. Unlike a general business program, it emphasizes the particular skills and knowledge needed for companies operating in multiple countries. It suits students interested in trade, global markets, or managing international teams, and who are comfortable with both quantitative and social science coursework.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.
