What it is	You study how businesses use technology and data to operate and make decisions. This program combines commerce fundamentals with information systems, so you focus on how companies manage software, networks, and digital tools rather than just general business. It suits people who want a business career but prefer working with technology and solving technical problems within an organization.	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.
