What it is	Rotman Commerce is an undergraduate business degree covering accounting, economics, finance, and management. Unlike general commerce programs, it includes mandatory co-op work terms where you earn money and gain real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want practical business training combined with classroom theory and are willing to plan their schedule around work semesters.	A Business Economics degree combines the study of how economies work with practical business skills like accounting, finance, and data analysis. Unlike a pure Economics program, you'll spend equal time on business applications and economic theory. This suits students interested in understanding markets, organizations, and financial systems from both theoretical and applied angles.	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.
