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 is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	You study accounting and business fundamentals, learning how to manage finances, prepare financial reports, and understand how organizations operate. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine accounting knowledge with broader business skills and prefer learning through hands-on workplace experience.	You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.
