What it isThis four-year combined degree integrates the study of conflict, human rights, security, and defence policy across social science and humanities perspectives. Unlike separate bachelor's and master's programs, you complete both degrees as one continuous stream, allowing you to move quickly from foundational concepts to advanced research and analysis. It suits students interested in understanding international relations, peace-building, or policy work who want deeper expertise than a single undergraduate degree provides.Economics is the study of how people and societies make choices about money, resources, and trade. At Carleton, you can focus your learning on areas like environmental issues, global development, finance, or politics alongside core economic theory and mathematics. The program includes a co-op option, letting you work in relevant jobs between study terms to build practical experience.Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.
