What it is	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology.

It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	A four-year program where you study accounting principles, financial reporting, and tax practices alongside core business courses like management and economics.

It suits students who want to work with numbers and financial systems, with an optional co-op option to gain workplace experience.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.

Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
