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.	You study accounting and general business skills, learning how to manage money, prepare financial statements, and understand how organizations operate. Unlike a straight accounting program, this co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms with real employers, so you earn experience and income alongside your courses. It suits people who want hands-on learning in a workplace, need to help pay for university, or want to test whether accounting feels right before committing fully.	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.
