| What it is | This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree. | You study the core functions of business — accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and economics — and learn how to manage them together in real organizations. This four-year program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work in actual companies. It suits people who want practical business skills and real-world experience before graduating. | 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. |
