| What it is | This program teaches you how economies work and how to manage money and investments at personal, business, and government levels. Unlike a straight economics program, it combines both fields so you study market behaviour alongside practical financial analysis and decision-making. It suits people who want to understand how money moves through the world and are interested in applying that knowledge to real careers in banking, policy, or corporate finance. | You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best. | This program combines the study of economics and political science, so you learn how money, markets, and government systems work together in society. Unlike taking these subjects separately, you examine them as interconnected fields — how policy decisions affect economies and vice versa. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms, giving you real-world experience in government, policy organizations, or research institutions. This suits people curious about social issues who want both theory and practical skills. |
