What it is	Anthropology is the study of human societies, cultures, and how people live across different times and places. You'll examine everything from family structures and belief systems to archaeology and language. This science-focused version emphasizes research methods and data analysis rather than pure humanities or field studies, suiting students who want rigorous training in how anthropologists actually investigate human behaviour.	An Arts and Contemporary Studies program combines the study of human culture, communication, places, and how societies preserve and interpret their past. Unlike a straight humanities degree, this program emphasizes real-world application through optional co-op placements where you work in museums, media organizations, or cultural agencies alongside your studies. It suits students curious about how people live and communicate across different cultures and time periods, who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career path.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.	You study how organizations and individuals use digital platforms and media to communicate with audiences, drawing from business strategy, creative writing, design, law, and sociology. Unlike a straight marketing or media studies program, this one explicitly connects social media tactics to broader social impact and strategic business goals. It suits people who want to understand both the creative and analytical sides of digital communication, and who benefit from hands-on co-op work experience.
