What you study	Chemistry	Politics Social Policy
What it is	You study the structure and behaviour of atoms, molecules, and reactions: how substances interact, break down, and transform. Unlike a general science degree, this is a focused program in chemistry alone, and includes a mandatory co-op term where you work in a lab or industry setting. It suits students who enjoy hands-on lab work and want practical experience alongside theory before entering chemistry, materials, or pharmaceutical careers.	This program combines the study of politics and social policy with a focus on global issues and international systems. You'll examine how governments, policies, and social movements interact across borders, rather than focusing on one country alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with organizations in Canada or abroad, giving you real-world experience alongside your coursework. It suits people interested in international affairs, diplomacy, development work, or policy analysis who want to test their skills in actual jobs before graduating.
