| 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 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. | 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. |
