What it is	In this program, you study accounting — the practice of recording, organizing, and interpreting a business's financial records. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at accounting firms or other companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want to learn accounting through a mix of theory and hands-on practice before entering the profession.	A four-year program where you study accounting principles, financial reporting, and tax practices alongside core business courses like management and economics. Unlike a general business degree, this stream prepares you specifically for accounting roles and professional designation pathways. It suits students who want to work with numbers and financial systems, with an optional co-op option to gain workplace experience.	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.
