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 business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.	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.
