What it is	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make choices about money, resources, and trade. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want to understand how economies work and prefer learning through a mix of theory and hands-on practice.	This is a one-year diploma focused on how governments design and carry out policies that affect society — things like healthcare, education, welfare, and environmental rules. You study the politics behind policy decisions and learn how social policies actually get made and implemented. It suits people who already have a completed degree or college diploma and want to shift into policy work without committing to another full bachelor's degree.	In an undeclared major, you start a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Environmental Studies without committing to a specific subject right away. You take introductory courses across areas like geography, politics, social policy, and planning, then choose your major after your first year once you know what interests you most. This approach suits students who are drawn to social and environmental questions but unsure which discipline to study them through.	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.
