What it is	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, trade, and resources. In this bachelor's degree, you learn economic theory, data analysis, and real-world problem-solving through courses that examine everything from personal finance to global markets. This program suits students who want to understand how the economy works and are interested in careers in business, policy, finance, or research.	This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
