What it is	Data Science is the study of extracting useful insights and predictions from large amounts of data using mathematics, statistics, and computer programming. This program combines mathematics and statistics with practical business and economics applications, so you learn both the theory behind data analysis and how to apply it to real-world problems. It suits people who enjoy working with numbers and want to understand how organizations use data to make decisions, especially if you want hands-on workplace experience through co-op placements.	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.
