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 gender and power shape society with political analysis and policy-making. You'll examine feminist theory, women's history, and social movements alongside government systems, elections, and law. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in relevant organizations, giving you real-world experience in activism, government, or non-profits while you study.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.
