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 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.	International Business is a business degree that prepares you to work across borders and cultures, combining core business subjects like accounting, management, and marketing with a focus on global economics and international development. Unlike a general business program, it emphasizes the particular skills and knowledge needed for companies operating in multiple countries. It suits students interested in trade, global markets, or managing international teams, and who are comfortable with both quantitative and social science coursework.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.
