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 human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development.
