| What it is | This program combines study of how technology shapes society with analysis of social issues and human values. Unlike a pure technology program, you'll focus on the human and ethical sides of tech — how it affects people, policy, and communities — rather than building or coding technology itself. It suits people curious about technology's role in the world who prefer thinking through social and policy questions over hands-on technical work. | This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development. | 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. |
