What it is	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people lived in the past and present around the world. This co-op version requires you to do work terms alongside your courses, giving you real experience in museums, cultural organizations, or research settings. It suits students curious about why societies work the way they do and who want practical field or lab work before graduating.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	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.
