What it is	A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.	Cognitive science is the study of how the mind works — combining psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science to understand thinking, language, and behaviour. This program lets you choose a co-op option, placing you in paid work terms with employers in neuroscience, tech, or research fields alongside your courses. It suits people curious about both how brains function and how that knowledge applies in real jobs.	A Humanities degree lets you study how people think, communicate, and make meaning through language, philosophy, religion, and culture. You choose from areas like linguistics, classical studies, and theology, and can combine subjects in ways that suit your interests rather than following a single major track. The co-op option lets you complete paid work terms alongside your studies. This program suits people drawn to big questions about human society and meaning, who want flexibility in their coursework, or who value real-world experience mixed with classroom learning.
