What it isA program where you study how businesses use technology — databases, networks, software, and IT systems — within a commerce degree. Unlike a pure computer science program, this focuses on real-world business applications rather than deep programming. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, building practical experience alongside theory. It suits people who want tech skills but prefer business contexts and hands-on learning over pure theory.You study how to use technology and information systems to solve business problems and manage operations in organizations. This program combines business knowledge with hands-on IT skills, unlike a pure computer science degree or a general business program. It suits people who want to work in technology roles within companies but prefer understanding business strategy alongside the technical side, and the co-op term gives you real workplace experience.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.
