What it is	You study how money, investments, and financial decisions work in businesses and markets. This program includes a mandatory co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at financial firms, giving you real industry experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want practical skills in finance and are willing to commit to structured work placements during their studies.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.	Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing.
