What it isThis program teaches you to become a registered nurse — you learn patient care, medical science, clinical skills, and how to work in hospitals and clinics. It combines classroom learning in anatomy, pharmacology, and nursing theory with hands-on practice in real healthcare settings. The program suits people who want direct patient contact, can handle emotional and physical demands, and are comfortable with science and responsibility for others' wellbeing.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.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.
