What you study	Social Policy Sociology	Politics Social Policy	International Development Social Policy Social Work Sociology
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.	This program combines the study of politics and social policy with a focus on global issues and international systems. You'll examine how governments, policies, and social movements interact across borders, rather than focusing on one country alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with organizations in Canada or abroad, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. It suits people interested in international affairs, diplomacy, development work, or policy analysis who want to test their skills in actual jobs before graduating.	You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development.
