What it isThis program lets you study science broadly — chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and related fields — at university level. Unlike a specialized honours program in a single science, this one gives you flexibility to explore multiple areas before focusing deeper. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work in science-related industries. It suits students who are strong in math and sciences but not yet sure which direction to specialize in, or who want practical work experience alongside their degree.You study the fundamentals of running a business: accounting, finance, human resources, and strategy, along with emerging areas like artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. This co-op program alternates classroom learning with paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want hands-on business skills and prefer learning by doing rather than pure theory.Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field.
