What it is	This program teaches you how to manage, organize, and run businesses of all sizes. You study accounting, marketing, finance, operations, and strategy across four years, with mandatory work terms built in so you alternate between classroom and paid jobs at real companies. It suits people who want practical business experience alongside theory and prefer learning by doing.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
