What it is	You 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.	Creative Technologies is a visual arts and design degree that combines fine art, graphic design, and digital media with entrepreneurship skills so you can develop creative work and understand how to turn ideas into projects or businesses. Unlike a straight fine arts program, it emphasizes the practical and business side of creative work. It suits people who want to make art or design but also care about how creative work reaches audiences and generates opportunity.	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.
