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.	You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.
