What it isThis program teaches you to manage technology projects and systems within business settings, combining business strategy with hands-on IT knowledge. Unlike a pure computer science degree, you focus on how organizations actually use and implement technology rather than deep coding or programming. The built-in co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real professional experience before you graduate — a fit for students who want practical experience early and a blend of business and tech rather than specializing in either alone.Political Science is the study of how governments work, why people hold different political beliefs, and how societies make decisions about laws and power. This program lets you combine politics with related areas like international development, criminology, philosophy, or regional studies depending on your interests. It suits students curious about current events, policy-making, and understanding conflict and social change who want practical work experience alongside classroom learning.International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
