| What it is | You study how businesses promote and sell products, and how marketing fits into company strategy and operations. This co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, so you build practical marketing experience while earning. It suits people who want hands-on business training alongside theory and prefer learning in a workplace setting. | 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. | This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals.
