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 the study of how economies work with how governments and political systems function, giving you grounding in both fields rather than specializing in just one. Unlike single-subject honours programs, you'll take courses in both economics and political science throughout all four years, building knowledge across both areas. The co-op option lets you work in related fields during your studies. This suits people curious about how economic policy gets made and implemented, or who want flexibility to move between economics and political science careers.	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.
