What it is	You study the core principles of business — accounting, economics, management — with a focus on how money moves through organizations and markets. Finance specialization means you dive deeper into investment analysis, corporate finance, and financial decision-making than you would in a general business degree. The program includes a co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience. This path suits people drawn to analyzing data, solving money-related problems, and working toward roles in banking, investment, or corporate finance.	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.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
