What it is	You study the principles and systems behind how economies work, from personal finance and business decisions to national and global trade. This three-year degree covers economic theory and real-world applications, giving you a broader education than a specialized business program. It suits people curious about how markets, governments, and money shape society, and who want flexibility to move into business, policy, law, or further study afterward.	Economics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make choices about money, resources, and trade. This program includes a co-op component, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at organizations, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits students who want to understand how economies work and prefer learning through a mix of theory and hands-on practice.	This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory.	You study how economic systems and social enterprises can solve real-world problems, combining economics, business start-ups, international development, and community-focused thinking. Unlike a straight economics or business program, this degree emphasizes using entrepreneurship and innovation specifically to create social change, not just profit. It suits people who want to understand global inequality and poverty while learning practical skills to launch organizations or projects that address them.
