What it is	You study accounting, the practice of recording, analyzing, and reporting financial information for businesses and organizations. This program differs from general commerce because it focuses specifically on accounting principles and prepares you for accounting designation exams. The co-op stream lets you alternate between semesters of classroom learning and paid work terms at accounting firms. It suits people who like working with numbers, attention to detail, and understanding how businesses manage money.	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.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
