What it is	Sociology is the study of how people interact, form groups, and build societies — looking at things like families, workplaces, inequality, and culture. This co-op option lets you take paid work terms with organizations studying social issues, giving you real-world experience alongside your classes. It suits people curious about why society works the way it does and who want to test that interest in actual jobs before deciding on a career path.	This program combines the study of how science and technology shape society and how social forces influence technological development. Unlike a pure science or pure sociology program, you examine the relationship between the two — asking questions like how social values affect which technologies get built, or how new technology changes the way people live. It suits students curious about the real-world impact of innovation who want social science thinking alongside technical understanding.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
