What you study	Business Studies Economics Finance	Accounting Business Studies Finance Human Resource Management
What it is	You study economics and business together, focusing on how money moves through markets and organizations. Unlike a pure economics program, you learn applied business skills alongside theory, and unlike straight business, you keep a strong grounding in economic analysis. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with employers, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people who want to understand both how economies work and how to apply that thinking to actual business decisions.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
