What it is	This program focuses on how governments work, political systems, and the policies that shape society. You study political theory, institutions, and social policy rather than just current events or history. The co-op option lets you work in government, non-profits, or advocacy organizations while you study, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand power structures and contribute to public decision-making.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	This program combines the study of how gender and power shape society with political analysis and policy-making. You'll examine feminist theory, women's history, and social movements alongside government systems, elections, and law. The co-op component means you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in relevant organizations, giving you real-world experience in activism, government, or non-profits while you study.
