What it is	This program combines the study of economics and political science, so you learn how money, markets, and government systems work together in society. Unlike taking these subjects separately, you examine them as interconnected fields — how policy decisions affect economies and vice versa. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in government, policy organizations, or research institutions. This suits people curious about social issues who want both theory and practical skills.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.	A BBA is a four-year business degree where you study core topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources alongside economics and general business strategy. Unlike some business programs, this one includes co-op work terms, meaning you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. It suits students who want a broad business foundation with hands-on learning and don't yet know which specific business path they'll take.
