What it is	You study environmental science and sustainability, examining how ecosystems work and how human activities affect the natural world. The co-op option lets you apply classroom learning through paid work terms at environmental organizations, government agencies, or conservation projects. This program suits students who want hands-on experience in environmental fields before deciding on a specific career direction.	You study how the natural world works alongside the human systems that affect it. The BES focuses on environmental policy, conservation, and sustainability through social and geographic lenses, while the BSc emphasizes the physical science side: geology, ecology, and environmental processes. Both paths suit people interested in solving real environmental problems through either policy and community work or scientific research and analysis.	You study rocks, minerals, earth processes, and how the physical environment works. Geology sits at the overlap of physics, chemistry, and biology, focusing on how Earth's materials form, change, and interact. This program suits people curious about natural resources, environmental problems, or how the planet works at a fundamental level.
