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.	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.
