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 program combines philosophy and political science in one four-year degree, so you study both how societies are organized and governed alongside fundamental questions about knowledge, ethics, and human nature. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how philosophical ideas shape political systems and use analytical thinking to evaluate political claims. It suits students who want to understand not just how politics works, but why we should care about justice, freedom, and the rules we live by.	You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training.	You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best.
