What it is	Psychology is the study of how people think, behave, and develop across their lifespan. At Windsor, you'll focus on real-world applications in areas like child development, disability support, and social work, with the option to complete paid work terms through the co-op program. This suits students who want to understand human behaviour while building practical experience in helping professions.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.
