What it is	You study how to run and launch businesses while learning environmental science and sustainability principles. This combines business skills with ecological knowledge, so you understand both profit and environmental impact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real workplace experience in green business and sustainability roles. It suits people who want to work in business but care about environmental problems.	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.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year degree where you study business topics like accounting, finance, marketing, and management. In your first year, you take a mix of foundational courses across all these areas before choosing a specialization in second year. It suits students interested in how organizations work and make decisions, who want flexibility to explore different business fields before committing to one.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
