What it is	This program teaches you how economies work and how to manage money and investments at personal, business, and government levels. Unlike a straight economics program, it combines both fields so you study market behaviour alongside practical financial analysis and decision-making. It suits people who want to understand how money moves through the world and are interested in applying that knowledge to real careers in banking, policy, or corporate finance.	You study how money, markets, and resources work in society, learning to analyze economic data and understand policy decisions that affect people's lives. You can focus on general economics, combine it with political science, or specialize in resource and environmental economics if you have stronger math and science preparation. This suits people curious about why economies function as they do and who want practical skills in financial analysis or policy work.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study how organizations work and make money. You take courses in accounting, finance, management, human resources, and economics, learning both theory and practical skills for running or working in a business. This program is taught in French, so you need strong French-language skills and must complete foundational math courses, making it suited to students who want a business education while developing or maintaining French fluency.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
