What it is	Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies.	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.	You study business and finance with a focus on health-care data and systems. This combines commerce training with health informatics, so you learn to analyze health-care operations and information rather than just general business. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in health-care or health-tech organizations. This program suits people interested in the business side of health care, who want practical work experience alongside their degree.
