What it is	You study how organizations manage money and how broader economic systems work. This co-op program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your courses, giving you real workplace experience in accounting or business roles while you learn theory. It suits people who want practical skills early, enjoy working with numbers and financial data, and prefer learning by doing alongside classroom instruction.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.	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.
