What it is	You study the fundamentals of running businesses and organizations, covering topics like marketing, human resources, economics, and entrepreneurship. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want a broad business foundation with flexible entry points into different industries, and who value learning by doing.	A business program that focuses on marketing — how companies promote and sell products and services to customers. You study general business topics like accounting and management alongside specialized marketing courses covering consumer behaviour, advertising, and digital strategy. The co-op option lets you work at real companies for paid terms, giving you hands-on experience while you complete your degree.	Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.	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.
