What it is	You study how economies work: money, trade, jobs, markets, and government policy. This BA degree lets you choose a co-op option, meaning you alternate between semesters of classes and paid work terms at organizations that use economic analysis. It suits people who want both theoretical understanding and real workplace experience before deciding whether to pursue economics further.	You study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.	A Business Economics degree combines the study of how economies work with practical business skills like accounting, finance, and data analysis. Unlike a pure Economics program, you'll spend equal time on business applications and economic theory. This suits students interested in understanding markets, organizations, and financial systems from both theoretical and applied angles.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
