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 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 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.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
