What it isThis program teaches you how to design and plan buildings, landscapes, and outdoor spaces, and understand the history and theory behind architecture. It differs from pure design programs because it emphasizes both the creative and technical sides of how buildings and environments are shaped. It suits students who want to study architecture as a discipline before applying to a professional architecture school, or who are drawn to design thinking and the built environment.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.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
