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.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.	You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.
