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.	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 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.
