What you study	Business Studies Computer Science	Accounting Artificial Intelligence Business Studies Economics	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
What it is	You study both business and computer science together, learning how organizations use technology and data, plus how to build and manage systems. This combined program goes deeper into both fields than a single-subject degree would, rather than treating computing as just a business tool. It suits people who want technical skills and business knowledge equally, and who see themselves working at the intersection of tech and management.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
