What it is	Honours Integrated Science teaches you how different sciences connect and overlap rather than studying them in separate boxes. You'll take courses across biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and environmental studies, learning how they relate to real problems instead of treating each discipline independently. This suits students who want a flexible foundation in science and aren't certain yet which single specialization they'll pursue.	You study political science and law together in one combined program, learning how governments work and how legal systems function side by side. Unlike a regular law degree, this program includes substantial coursework in political theory, institutions, and policy, giving you a broader foundation in how power and justice operate in society. It suits people drawn to both legal practice and political understanding who want to explore connections between law and governance before committing to law school alone.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
