What it is	You study English literature and language alongside comparative texts from other cultures and ancient languages. Unlike a straight English program, this one builds in cross-cultural perspectives, so you're reading works in translation and examining how stories and ideas travel across languages and time periods. It suits people who like close reading, cultural depth, and aren't intimidated by unfamiliar texts.	You study business and organizations through both management and sociology lenses, examining how companies operate in society and affect people. This program blends traditional business topics like accounting and strategy with the social sciences, so you explore not just profits but also ethics, inequality, and community impact. It suits students interested in business who also want to understand the human and social dimensions of commerce, and the optional co-op lets you test this approach through paid work terms.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
