| What it is | This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory. | This program combines the study of how economies work with how governments and political systems function, giving you grounding in both fields rather than specializing in just one. Unlike single-subject honours programs, you'll take courses in both economics and political science throughout all four years, building knowledge across both areas. The co-op option lets you work in related fields during your studies. This suits people curious about how economic policy gets made and implemented, or who want flexibility to move between economics and political science careers. | 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. |
