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 to extract useful insights from large datasets using statistics, mathematics, and programming tools. This program combines theory in statistics and economics with practical data analysis skills. Co-op placement is optional, letting you gain real workplace experience analyzing data while you study. It suits people who enjoy both the maths behind data and solving real business problems.
