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 how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.	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.
