What it is	You study accounting and general business skills, learning how to manage money, prepare financial statements, and understand how organizations operate. Unlike a straight accounting program, this co-op version requires you to complete paid work terms with real employers, so you earn experience and income alongside your courses. It suits people who want hands-on learning in a workplace, need to help pay for university, or want to test whether accounting feels right before committing fully.	This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
