What it is	This program teaches you business fundamentals—accounting, management, marketing, and economics—while requiring you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters of coursework and semesters working in actual business roles, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits people who learn by doing and want to test career interests in business while earning money and building a professional network.	You study business and mathematics together as one integrated degree, rather than as two separate majors. The program requires stronger math entry grades than a typical BBA and includes mandatory co-op work terms where you alternate between classroom and paid work in finance, analytics, or related roles. This suits students who want quantitative skills for careers in data analysis, financial modelling, or actuarial work alongside business fundamentals.	A BBA teaches you the fundamentals of running businesses and managing organizations: accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and operations. You study how companies make decisions and solve real-world problems. This program suits students who want a broad business education before specializing, or who aren't sure which business area interests them most yet.
