What it is	Earth Sciences is a study of rocks, minerals, Earth's structure, and environmental systems — how the planet works and how humans interact with it. The program includes a co-op work placement component, meaning you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies or organizations in geology and environmental fields. It suits students curious about natural systems and interested in learning through hands-on experience in the workplace.	You study chemistry and music together over five years instead of the usual four. Chemistry covers atoms, reactions, and lab work; music covers performance, theory, and composition. This program suits people genuinely interested in both fields who want a full degree in each, not just a minor or elective courses alongside a major.	You earn both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science by studying music and geology together over five years. Rather than choosing one subject, you take courses in both fields in parallel, completing the full degree requirements for each. This program suits students genuinely interested in both disciplines who want depth in two very different areas rather than a traditional major-minor split.
