| What it is | 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. | You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
