What it isYou study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study.You study business management and related fields like accounting, human resources, or entrepreneurship while alternating between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. This co-op structure means you graduate with real workplace experience alongside your degree. The dual degree option lets you complete part of your studies at a partner institution abroad, typically NEOMA Business School in France, combining international education with Canadian credentials. This suits students who want hands-on business experience, practical skills, and potentially a global perspective before entering the workforce.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.You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
