What it is	This program teaches you economic theory and quantitative analysis — how markets work, how people make financial decisions, and how to use data and math to test economic ideas. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, government agencies, or research organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside your studies. It suits people who enjoy both math and thinking about how societies allocate resources, and who want to build practical skills before graduation.	Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.	You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about.
