What it is	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory.	Accounting is the study of how organizations record, manage, and report their money. You learn to prepare financial statements, handle taxes, audit records, and advise on business decisions based on financial data. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at accounting firms or in corporate finance departments, giving you real experience before you graduate.	You study business subjects like accounting, finance, and marketing alongside teacher training in a single four-year degree. Unlike a regular business degree, you earn two qualifications at once and complete a co-op work placement, giving you classroom teaching experience while finishing your studies. This suits people who want to become teachers but also want solid grounding in business skills or who are still deciding between those two career paths.
