| What it is | This is a one-year diploma focused on how governments design and carry out policies that affect society — things like healthcare, education, welfare, and environmental rules. You study the politics behind policy decisions and learn how social policies actually get made and implemented. It suits people who already have a completed degree or college diploma and want to shift into policy work without committing to another full bachelor's degree. | This program combines the study of politics and social policy with a focus on global issues and international systems. You'll examine how governments, policies, and social movements interact across borders, rather than focusing on one country alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with organizations in Canada or abroad, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. It suits people interested in international affairs, diplomacy, development work, or policy analysis who want to test their skills in actual jobs before graduating. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. | A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on. |
