What it is	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.	This is a one-year diploma focused on how governments design and carry out policies that affect society — things like healthcare, education, welfare, and environmental rules. You study the politics behind policy decisions and learn how social policies actually get made and implemented. It suits people who already have a completed degree or college diploma and want to shift into policy work without committing to another full bachelor's degree.	This program combines the study of conflicts, human rights law, and social policy across economics, politics, and interdisciplinary fields. You'll analyze how economic systems, political institutions, and policy decisions affect human rights and create or resolve conflicts. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at organizations dealing with these issues, giving you practical experience alongside theory.
