| What it is | This program teaches you how people think, behave, and interact — the science behind psychology. You'll study psychological theories and research methods alongside related fields like sociology and social work, giving you a broad understanding of human behaviour and society. It suits students curious about why people do what they do and interested in careers involving counselling, research, or social services. | Global Health is a science degree that combines the study of health systems, data analysis, and policy with real-world development work across different countries. You learn how health issues connect to poverty, education, and government decisions, and you use technology to solve health problems in low-resource settings. Co-op work terms let you gain international experience while studying, making this a good fit if you want to work on health challenges beyond Canada. | You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy. | 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. |
