What it is	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
