I got accepted into Waterloo- Honours Arts and Business Co-op as well as McMaster- Business
I have no idea what to choose and how these programs really are
Does anyone have an idea of what these programs have to offer?

heyy im going into McMaster Business and I have a friend going into Arts and Business Co-op
and it really depends on what you want to do
first off, they are different degrees, with Waterloo's you get a BA and with McMasters you get a BComm
If you are strong in Math for sure go to McMaster ....more Math and business oriented and vice versa for Waterloo
If you are interested in the arts aswell as business then Waterloo has the better program for you
finally...Waterloo has coop and McMaster has internships, if that plays any part in your decision

Why would you have to major in Economics?

Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to transfer into Arts and Business (Regular) from Honours Arts.
Just curious. I e-mailed the person they tell you to e-mail, but they haven't responded (Shows how much they really care about prospective students). Maybe someone in here has done this, or had had a friend do it.

I would assume having your schedule resemble the first year requirements for Arts and Business would be recommended.

Well you don't HAVE to major in Economics, unless that's the only major your interested in.

If you're truly interested in business only, then I would suggest going to McMaster.

Try their websites, they often have program specific information.
