What it is	This 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 how governments, economies, and organizations actually work together, combining business management with political and economic analysis. Unlike a straight business degree, this program integrates policy and political systems into your core learning. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real employers, letting you test what you learn in actual jobs. It suits people who want business skills but also care about how policy and politics shape markets and management.	You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company.
