What it is	Architectural Science is the study of how buildings work technically and functionally—covering structure, systems, materials, and design—rather than architecture as pure art. The co-op option lets you work at real firms alongside your studies, giving you paid work experience in the field. This program suits students who want to understand the practical side of building design and who value hands-on learning in an actual workplace.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	An Honours Arts degree lets you study humanities and social sciences in depth, choosing from subjects like history, English, anthropology, environmental studies, and others. Unlike a general arts degree, an honours program requires more advanced courses in your chosen major and typically demands higher academic performance. This program suits students who want to explore ideas across cultures, societies, and texts, and who are willing to commit to deeper study in at least one subject area.
