What it is	A sociology degree means studying how people form groups, institutions, and societies — why they act the way they do together, what shapes their beliefs and behaviours, and how power and inequality work in the real world. This four-year program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid experience in a workplace related to social research, policy, or community work. It suits people curious about how society works who want both classroom theory and hands-on practice in fields like research, social services, or communications.	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.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.	This three-year arts degree lets you study human and social issues from multiple angles — combining courses in psychology, sociology, management, and business. Unlike a specialized honours program, it gives you breadth across disciplines rather than depth in one field, so you can explore how people behave, organizations work, and societies function together. It suits students curious about people and society who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a specific major.
