Students will receive instructions for accessing SOLUS and their Supplementary Application after they apply.

What it isCommerce is a broad business degree covering accounting, finance, management, and marketing alongside core business concepts. You'll study how organizations operate financially and strategically across different functions. It suits people who want a flexible business foundation before specializing, rather than committing to accounting or finance alone from day one.Accounting teaches you how to record, analyze, and report on money flowing in and out of businesses and organizations. This co-op program includes paid work terms where you apply what you learn in real accounting roles, alternating with classroom study. It suits people who want practical experience alongside theory and are comfortable switching between school and work.You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.
