What it is	This program combines accounting and economics so you study both how businesses manage money and how broader markets and economies work.

It suits students interested in understanding business finances from multiple angles and who want hands-on work experience through the co-op component.

You learn to prepare financial statements, handle taxes, audit records, and advise on business decisions based on financial data.
