What it is	You study how businesses and economies work together, combining business management, finance, and economics theory. Unlike a straight business degree, this program weaves economic analysis throughout, so you learn to think like both an economist and a business manager. It suits people curious about why markets behave as they do and who want to apply that thinking to real business decisions — especially if you want co-op work experience built into your degree.	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.
