| What it is | This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | 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. |
