What it is	You study mathematics and economics together as equally important subjects, learning how to use mathematical methods to analyze economic problems and data. This combined degree differs from studying either subject alone because you build expertise in both fields rather than majoring in one and minoring in the other. It suits students who enjoy both abstract mathematics and real-world applications, and want to prepare for careers in finance, data analysis, or economic research.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	You study the fundamentals of running businesses and organizations, covering topics like marketing, human resources, economics, and entrepreneurship. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want a broad business foundation with flexible entry points into different industries, and who value learning by doing.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. 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.
