What it is	Interior design teaches you to plan and furnish indoor spaces — homes, offices, shops, restaurants — combining aesthetics, function, and building codes. You'll learn design software, materials, colour theory, and how to work with clients and contractors. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms in design firms, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.	You study how to design and restore buildings while minimizing environmental impact, combining architecture, history, and ecological design. This program emphasizes conservation of existing structures and sustainable materials and methods, setting it apart from general architecture programs that focus mainly on new construction. It suits students interested in heritage preservation and green building who want hands-on experience through co-op placements.	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.
