What it is	You study business fundamentals with a focus on marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, and how companies promote and sell products or services. The co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms at real companies alongside your courses, giving you workplace experience before you graduate. This program suits students who want to understand both the broader business side and the specific marketing skills needed to launch campaigns, analyze markets, and build brands.	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 how businesses market products and services to customers, covering advertising, consumer behaviour, market research, and brand strategy. Unlike a general commerce degree, this program focuses specifically on marketing. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms with employers during your degree, alternating with classroom study. This suits students who want practical experience in marketing while earning and networking with companies.
