What it is	This program explores how science and technology shape society and vice versa — you study the social impacts of innovation, policy, ethics, and how people use technology in everyday life. Unlike a straight science or engineering program, you examine the human and social side of technical change rather than just the technical details. It suits students curious about how technology affects people and society who want hands-on work experience alongside their studies through the integrated co-op requirement.	This program trains you to teach junior and intermediate students (roughly grades 4 to 10) by combining a university degree in arts subjects with teacher education coursework. You study one or two arts subjects like English, history, or psychology while also taking education courses that teach you how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student learning. It suits people who want to teach a specific subject and earn a teaching credential in four years rather than doing a separate degree first.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
