What it is	You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.	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.	International Business is a business degree that prepares you to work across borders and cultures, combining core business subjects like accounting, management, and marketing with a focus on global economics and international development. Unlike a general business program, it emphasizes the particular skills and knowledge needed for companies operating in multiple countries. It suits students interested in trade, global markets, or managing international teams, and who are comfortable with both quantitative and social science coursework.
