What it is	You study one modern language in depth — French, Spanish and Latin American culture, or Italian — alongside English literature and related humanities. Each stream lets you focus on the language itself, its literature, and the history and culture of regions where it's spoken. This suits you if you want genuine fluency in a second language combined with understanding of its cultural context, rather than a broad survey of multiple languages.	A Humanities degree lets you study how people think, communicate, and make meaning through language, philosophy, religion, and culture. You choose from areas like linguistics, classical studies, and theology, and can combine subjects in ways that suit your interests rather than following a single major track. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms alongside your studies. This program suits people drawn to big questions about human society and meaning, who want flexibility in their coursework, or who value real-world experience mixed with classroom learning.	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.	A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.
