What it is	You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best.	You study philosophy, political theory, and social policy through an interdisciplinary lens, examining real-world ethical problems like justice, inequality, and human rights. Unlike a straight philosophy major, this program anchors abstract thinking in contemporary social issues and policy solutions. It suits students who want to understand the theoretical foundations of social problems and are drawn to careers in advocacy, public policy, or social justice work.	This program combines the study of how gender and power shape society with political analysis and policy-making. You'll examine feminist theory, women's history, and social movements alongside government systems, elections, and law. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in relevant organizations, giving you real-world experience in activism, government, or non-profits while you study.
