What it is	You study accounting and business management with a focus on accounting practices, financial reporting, and analysis. This program includes a mandatory co-op term, which means you'll complete paid work placements with employers alongside your coursework, giving you real workplace experience before graduation. It suits people who want to understand how organizations manage money and are ready to combine classroom learning with practical experience in business settings.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
