What it is	Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work — covering everything from politics and law to anthropology and economics. Unlike a specialist program in one subject, this degree lets you combine courses across multiple disciplines so you can explore what interests you most. It suits students curious about human behaviour, culture, institutions, and social change who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a narrow path.	You study both political science and law together in a single six-year program, rather than pursuing them separately. Political science teaches you how governments, institutions, and policies actually work; law gives you the training needed to become a lawyer, including courtroom procedures and legal reasoning. This combined stream suits people who want to understand politics deeply and work as lawyers in government, policy, or public interest law.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.	Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.
