What it is	Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems (like climate and landforms) and human societies, plus the tools and methods to map and analyze them. This program includes a co-op placement, which means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms with employers in the field. It suits people interested in environmental issues, urban planning, resource management, or spatial analysis who want practical experience alongside their degree.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
