What it is	You study accounting and business fundamentals, learning how to manage finances, prepare financial reports, and understand how organizations operate. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine accounting knowledge with broader business skills and prefer learning through hands-on workplace experience.	You study the business side of running airlines and aviation companies, combining management training with technical knowledge of how aircraft and flight operations work. Unlike a general business degree, this program includes aerospace engineering content so you understand the operational reality of what you're managing. It suits people who want careers in airline management, airport operations, or aviation administration and are comfortable with both business coursework and technical material.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.
