What it is	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	You study an undergraduate arts degree in a subject like anthropology, English, or criminology, then continue into a master's in business administration, all while working in paid internships throughout the program. The co-op placements let you gain real workplace experience in business and related fields alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to combine deeper knowledge in a humanities or social science area with professional business training and aren't sure whether they want to jump straight into an MBA right after high school.
