What it isYou study business and organizations through both management and sociology lenses, examining how companies operate in society and affect people. This program blends traditional business topics like accounting and strategy with the social sciences, so you explore not just profits but also ethics, inequality, and community impact. It suits students interested in business who also want to understand the human and social dimensions of commerce, and the optional co-op lets you test this approach through paid work terms.Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.Therapeutic Recreation is a program that teaches you how to use activities, games, arts, and outdoor experiences to help people improve their physical health, mental wellbeing, and quality of life. You'll learn both the theory of how recreation heals and the practical skills to run programs in hospitals, community centres, and care facilities. This program suits people who want to work in healthcare or social services but prefer a hands-on, activity-based approach rather than clinical or medical training.This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.
