What it is	This program combines the study of how societies communicate with the analysis of politics and power. You'll learn media theory, journalism skills, and political systems alongside each other, rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students curious about how information shapes politics and who want hands-on experience through paid work placements alongside their studies.	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.
