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.	You study accounting, the practice of recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information for businesses and organizations. This program differs from general commerce because it focuses specifically on accounting principles and prepares you for accounting designation exams. The co-op stream lets you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at accounting firms. It suits people who like working with numbers, attention to detail, and understanding how businesses manage money.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
