What it is	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 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.	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.
