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.	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study how organizations work and make money. You take courses in accounting, finance, management, human resources, and economics, learning both theory and practical skills for running or working in a business. This program is taught in French, so you need strong French-language skills and must complete foundational math courses, making it suited to students who want a business education while developing or maintaining French fluency.
