What you study	Economics	Accounting Business Studies Management Studies Others in Business & Administrative Studies	Accounting Business Studies Economics Finance
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 accounting and business fundamentals, learning how to manage finances, prepare financial reports, and understand how organizations operate. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to combine accounting knowledge with broader business skills and prefer learning through hands-on workplace experience.	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.
