What it is	This program teaches you how economies work: how people make money, how businesses set prices, how governments manage money and jobs, and why some countries are richer than others. You'll study real-world problems like inflation, unemployment, and trade. It suits people who want to understand financial systems and are interested in business, policy, or finance careers without committing to a narrowly specialized degree.	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.	You study how to create practical solutions to social problems by combining ideas from business, politics, and social sciences. Unlike a straight business or political science degree, this program intentionally blends entrepreneurship, policy thinking, and community understanding so you can design and launch initiatives that address real needs. It suits people who want to work on social change but also need to understand how organizations, money, and systems actually work.
