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.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.	Political Science at Ontario Tech combines the study of government systems, power, and policy with practical work experience. You'll examine how political institutions function across different countries and explore related areas like law, international development, and social policy. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid positions in government, non-profits, or policy organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside theory.
