| What it is | You study business management with a focus on international trade, operations, and cross-border commerce. Unlike a general business degree, this program emphasizes global markets, supply chains, and doing business across countries. It includes mandatory co-op work terms, giving you real workplace experience alongside classroom learning. This suits people who want business skills combined with international perspective and hands-on professional practice. | You study how people communicate through digital platforms, traditional media, and written content, combining journalism, creative writing, and media analysis with business and economics foundations. Unlike a pure journalism program, this combines multiple communication disciplines and requires hands-on digital media production alongside theory. It suits people who want to work in digital marketing, publishing, broadcasting, or content creation and value gaining real workplace experience during their degree. | You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience. |
