What it is	You study how gender shapes society, institutions, and policy, examining inequality, identity, and social change through sociology and social policy. This is an analytical, research-focused program rather than an activism-based one, centred on understanding systems and structures. It suits students who want to think critically about social issues and pursue careers in policy, research, social services, or advocacy.	Applied Health Sciences is a four-year degree that combines study of how the human body works with research into health policy and social factors that affect people's wellbeing. Unlike pure biology or chemistry programs, it focuses on real-world health problems and how systems can be improved to serve communities better. It suits students interested in healthcare careers who want both scientific grounding and understanding of the broader social side of health.	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 study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.
