What you study	Economics	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Economics	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Economics
What it is	You study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
