What you study	Politics Social Policy	Accounting Business Studies Entrepreneurship Finance	Accounting Business Studies Information Systems International Development
What it is	You study how governments work, political systems, and social policies that affect people's lives. The co-op requirement means you'll spend alternating school and work terms at organizations involved in politics, policy, or public affairs, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to understand politics deeply and test whether a career in government, advocacy, or policy work fits them.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.	International Business is a business degree that prepares you to work across borders and cultures, combining core business subjects like accounting, management, and marketing with a focus on global economics and international development. Unlike a general business program, it emphasizes the particular skills and knowledge needed for companies operating in multiple countries. It suits students interested in trade, global markets, or managing international teams, and who are comfortable with both quantitative and social science coursework.
