What it is	Geography studies how people, culture, economics, and environment shape places and regions around the world. In this program, you focus on human geography — looking at cities, migration, inequality, and society rather than physical landforms or climate systems. It suits students curious about why the world is organized the way it is and interested in understanding global issues through a social and cultural lens.	You study the causes, effects, and solutions to conflict at local, national, and global scales, drawing on geography, politics, development, and social policy. This program emphasizes understanding conflict through multiple disciplines rather than focusing narrowly on one field. It suits students interested in humanitarian work, policy analysis, diplomacy, or activism who want a broad foundation in how societies experience and resolve disputes.	You study how societies develop, interact across borders, and address global challenges like poverty and inequality. This program combines politics, economics, and social policy rather than focusing on just one discipline. The co-op option lets you work with international organizations or NGOs between school terms, giving you practical experience alongside your coursework. It suits people curious about global issues who want to understand systems and institutions, not just volunteer or travel.
