What it is	You study how physical activity, sport, and exercise affect human health and performance, plus how to design and manage recreation and wellness programs. Unlike a pure exercise science program, this degree balances the science side with practical skills in running fitness facilities, community programs, and leisure services. It suits people who want to combine their interest in fitness and health with careers in coaching, program management, or public health promotion.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.	You study how religion, moral philosophy, and social justice intersect with modern society, drawing on theology, psychology, sociology, and journalism. Unlike a straight theology program, this combines faith-based thinking with social science and applied communication skills to understand real-world ethical issues. It suits students interested in exploring belief systems and their role in addressing social problems, whether through advocacy, community work, or writing.
