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 four-year degree combining the study of political systems and institutions with media, journalism, and how people communicate messages to audiences. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how politics and communication shape each other — analyzing political campaigns, news coverage, and public persuasion. It suits students interested in policy, political reporting, campaign work, or understanding how information flows in democratic societies.
