What it is	Political Science is the study of government, law, political systems, and how power works in society. You'll examine Canadian and international politics, political theory, and institutions from multiple angles. This four-year program suits people who want a broad foundation in politics before deciding whether to specialize in law, policy, international relations, or public administration.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.	You study how power, politics, and social systems shape gender and women's experiences, combining feminist theory with political analysis. Unlike a straight political science program, you examine how gender operates across institutions, law, and society rather than treating it as a side topic. This suits you if you're interested in social justice, policy work, or understanding how political systems affect different groups.	You study psychology alongside practical training in areas like human resources, complementary health therapies, and social work. This program pairs an honours bachelor's degree with a diploma credential, giving you both academic psychology knowledge and applied skills in helping professions. It suits people interested in understanding human behaviour who want hands-on experience in workplace, health, or community settings before or alongside their degree.
