What it is	A business program that focuses on marketing — how companies promote and sell products and services to customers. You study general business topics like accounting and management alongside specialized marketing courses covering consumer behaviour, advertising, and digital strategy. The co-op option lets you work at real companies for paid terms, giving you hands-on experience while you complete your degree.	You study how to use data and statistical tools to solve problems in finance and banking. The program combines computer science, mathematics, and finance, so you learn to build models and analyze trends rather than just learning finance theory or coding separately. It includes paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want a technical, analytical career in financial institutions or companies that rely on data to make decisions.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.
