What it is	This program teaches you how to start and run your own business, covering finance, marketing, operations, and strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, entrepreneurship focuses specifically on launching ventures and solving business problems from scratch. A co-op option lets you work at companies between semesters, while a French immersion stream teaches courses in French. It suits people who want to understand business fundamentals but are drawn to creating something new rather than managing existing organizations.	You study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.	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.
