What it is	A Chemistry degree teaches you the theory and practice of how substances interact, break down, and combine. You'll study pure chemistry alongside molecular biology and biochemistry, giving you a broader foundation than a straight chemistry program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you can test whether lab or industrial chemistry work suits you before graduating.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.	You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.
