What it isYou study both physics and electrical engineering over five years, earning two degrees and getting deep knowledge of how electricity, circuits, and electromagnetic systems work alongside the math and theory behind them. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double program gives you training in both the fundamental science and the applied engineering side. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms at companies, which suits students who want real-world experience before graduation and are ready for a longer program.A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
