What it is	You study business and computer science together, learning both management and programming skills in an integrated program rather than as two separate degrees. The co-op component requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience in tech or business roles. This suits people who want technical skills plus business knowledge and are willing to balance classroom time with multiple work placements over four or five years.	This program teaches you business fundamentals—accounting, management, marketing, and economics—while requiring you to complete paid work terms alongside your studies. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between semesters of coursework and semesters working in actual business roles, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits people who learn by doing and want to test career interests in business while earning money and building a professional network.
