What it is	You study the systems and rules for tracking money in organizations, plus how to manage and invest money wisely. This program lets you do paid work terms at real companies alongside your classes, giving you practical experience before you graduate. It suits people who want solid technical skills in numbers and business and prefer learning partly through doing.	You study business fundamentals — accounting, finance, marketing, management, and human resources — while earning a degree from both University of Ottawa and a partner institution abroad. The dual degree means you spend time at two universities and graduate with credentials from both, giving you international experience and exposure to different business practices. This suits students who want a business foundation with global perspective and the opportunity to study and work in another country.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
