What it is	You study how children grow up and how society shapes their experiences, drawing on education and sociology. You'll examine childhood from multiple angles: schools, families, peer groups, and social systems. If you choose the co-op option, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with organizations serving young people, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people interested in education, child development, or social issues who want both academic understanding and workplace learning.	This is a combined undergraduate and law degree program that lets you study a humanities or social science subject alongside a professional law degree. Unlike a standard BA followed by separate law school, you complete both degrees together in an integrated path, earning a BA/LLB. It suits students who want a broader educational foundation in fields like English, archaeology, or communication studies while training to become a lawyer, rather than focusing only on law from the start.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
