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.	This program combines the study of how conflicts arise and persist with the investigation of human rights law and advocacy. You examine political systems, international relations, and social policy through coursework in both conflict resolution and rights protection. It suits students interested in diplomacy, international organizations, law, or social justice work who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.	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 how to create practical solutions to social problems by combining ideas from business, politics, and social sciences. Unlike a straight business or political science degree, this program intentionally blends entrepreneurship, policy thinking, and community understanding so you can design and launch initiatives that address real needs. It suits people who want to work on social change but also need to understand how organizations, money, and systems actually work.
