What it is	This program combines the study of French language, literature, and culture with media and communication theory and practice. You'll analyze texts, develop writing skills in French, and learn how messages work across different platforms and audiences. It suits students who want to understand both French expression and how communication shapes society, and who value workplace experience through the integrated co-op option.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.	This three-year arts degree lets you study human and social issues from multiple angles — combining courses in psychology, sociology, management, and business. Unlike a specialized honours program, it gives you breadth across disciplines rather than depth in one field, so you can explore how people behave, organizations work, and societies function together. It suits students curious about people and society who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a specific major.
