What it is	You study how to understand and protect natural environments while learning from Indigenous knowledge systems and practices. This program combines environmental science with Indigenous perspectives in a way that most environmental programs don't, centering Indigenous ways of knowing alongside Western science. It suits students interested in environmental work who want to ground their learning in Indigenous approaches and may want hands-on experience through the co-op option.	Economics is the study of how people and societies make choices about money, resources, and trade. At Carleton, you can focus your learning on areas like environmental issues, global development, finance, or politics alongside core economic theory and mathematics. The program includes a co-op option, letting you work in relevant jobs between study terms to build practical experience.	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.
