What it is	You study sociology — how people, groups, and societies work — but with a focus on solving real problems rather than just theory. You'll learn to analyze social issues like inequality, crime, and community development, then apply that knowledge to actual situations through projects and research. This suits people who want to understand human behaviour and social change while building practical skills for work in non-profit organizations, government, or social services.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people live around the world — both now and in the past. You'll examine everything from language and belief systems to how communities organize themselves and adapt to their environments. This program suits people curious about why humans behave differently across societies and who want to understand cultural diversity on a deeper level.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people live around the world — past and present. You'll examine everything from how societies are organized to what people believe and how they communicate. This program suits you if you're curious about human behaviour and want to understand different cultures on a deeper level than you would in a history or sociology class alone.	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.
