What it isThis program teaches you business fundamentals with a focus on managing operations and commerce across different countries. Unlike a general commerce degree, international management emphasizes global trade, cross-cultural business practices, and how companies work in multiple markets. It suits people interested in business careers with a global outlook, and you can choose a co-op stream to gain paid work experience alongside your studies.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.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.
