What it is	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and biology across time and geography. You can pursue this through an arts lens (focusing on culture and history), a science lens (emphasizing human biology and evolution), or a combined arts and sciences approach. The program suits students curious about how people live and lived, rather than those seeking a single professional credential.	Physical Geography and Geomatics is the study of Earth's natural systems — climate, landforms, water cycles, and ecosystems — combined with the tools and technology used to map and analyze landscapes and geographic data. You'll learn fieldwork skills alongside GIS software and remote sensing, which sets this apart from pure geology or human geography alone. It suits students who want to understand how the physical world works and are comfortable with both outdoor research and technical problem-solving.	This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.
