| What it is | Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions that happen inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and molecular biology. You learn how molecules like proteins and DNA work at the chemical level, which is deeper than what you'd cover in a regular biology or chemistry program. This program offers the option to do paid co-op work terms alongside your studies, giving you real laboratory and industry experience before you graduate. It suits people curious about how life works at the molecular scale and interested in hands-on work in research, pharmaceuticals, or biotechnology. | You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying. | 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. | Commerce is a broad business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, management, and related topics. You choose a concentration like accounting or finance to specialize, rather than studying one narrow area. It suits people interested in business fundamentals and real-world work experience, since the program includes optional co-op placements that let you alternate between classes and paid jobs in your field. |
