What it isEconomics is the study of how people and societies make choices about money, resources, and trade. At Carleton, you can focus your learning on areas like environmental issues, global development, finance, or politics alongside core economic theory and mathematics. The program includes a co-op option, letting you work in relevant jobs between study terms to build practical experience.International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.
