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.	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.	You study how to create practical solutions to social problems by combining ideas from business, politics, and social sciences. Unlike a straight business or political science degree, this program intentionally blends entrepreneurship, policy thinking, and community understanding so you can design and launch initiatives that address real needs. It suits people who want to work on social change but also need to understand how organizations, money, and systems actually work.
