What it is	This program combines accounting and economics so you study both how businesses manage money and how broader markets and economies work. Unlike a straight accounting program, you learn economic theory and policy alongside financial reporting and analysis. It suits students interested in understanding business finances from multiple angles and who want hands-on work experience through the co-op component.	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.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.
