What it is	You study how governments work, political systems, and social policies that affect people's lives. The co-op requirement means you'll spend alternating school and work terms at organizations involved in politics, policy, or public affairs, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. This suits people who want to understand politics deeply and test whether a career in government, advocacy, or policy work fits them.	Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.	Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.
