| What it is | You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, buildings, and water systems. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at engineering firms, giving you real project experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on problem-solving in construction and infrastructure and are ready to balance coursework with workplace learning. | You study how to use technology and information systems to solve business problems and manage operations in organizations. This program combines business knowledge with hands-on IT skills, unlike a pure computer science degree or a general business program. It suits people who want to work in technology roles within companies but prefer understanding business strategy alongside the technical side, and the co-op term gives you real workplace experience. | You study how to run and launch businesses while learning environmental science and sustainability principles. This combines business skills with ecological knowledge, so you understand both profit and environmental impact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real workplace experience in green business and sustainability roles. It suits people who want to work in business but care about environmental problems. | 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. |
