What it is	You study accounting, finance, and business decision-making, learning how to manage money, prepare financial reports, and analyze economic data for organizations. This program requires you to complete paid work terms alongside your courses, alternating between school and real-world jobs in accounting and finance firms, so you graduate with significant professional experience. It suits people who want hands-on workplace learning, need to fund their education through co-op earnings, and are interested in becoming accountants or financial analysts.	Accounting teaches you how to record, analyze, and report on money flowing in and out of businesses and organizations. This co-op program includes paid work terms where you apply what you learn in real accounting roles, alternating with classroom study. It suits people who want practical experience alongside theory and are comfortable switching between school and work.	Accounting is the study of how organizations record, manage, and report their money. You learn to prepare financial statements, handle taxes, audit records, and advise on business decisions based on financial data. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at accounting firms or in corporate finance departments, giving you real experience before you graduate.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
