What it is	Commerce 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.	Engineering at Western teaches you to design and build solutions to practical problems using mathematics, science, and materials. You choose a specialization like software, mechanical, civil, or chemical engineering, or study general engineering first before deciding. The program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classes and paid jobs with employers, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
