| What it is | You study how gender, feminism, and power shape society by combining feminist theory with sociology's analysis of social structures and inequality. Unlike a straight sociology program, you examine gender as a central lens across all topics — from work and family to politics and culture. This suits students interested in understanding social change, inequality, and how identity intersects with institutions, who want classroom learning paired with work experience. | This program explores how science and technology shape society and vice versa — you study the social impacts of innovation, policy, ethics, and how people use technology in everyday life. Unlike a straight science or engineering program, you examine the human and social side of technical change rather than just the technical details. It suits students curious about how technology affects people and society who want hands-on work experience alongside their studies through the integrated co-op requirement. | 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 enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. |
