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.

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.	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems.
