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.	You study how organizations manage money and how broader economic systems work. This co-op program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your courses, giving you real workplace experience in accounting or business roles while you learn theory. It suits people who want practical skills early, enjoy working with numbers and financial data, and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom instruction.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
