What it isYou study how to design and build solutions to environmental problems using engineering tools and methods. This program combines traditional engineering disciplines like civil and mining with environmental science, so you learn both the technical skills and the ecological knowledge needed to tackle issues like water quality, land use, and resource extraction. It suits people who want to solve real-world environmental challenges through hands-on engineering work rather than pure science or policy analysis, and the built-in co-op terms let you test that fit in actual workplaces.Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care.You study how to collect, analyze, and interpret geographic information using computers and data science tools — combining mapping technology, environmental science, and statistics. Unlike a pure geography or engineering program, this degree integrates spatial data analysis across multiple fields, preparing you to solve real-world problems in urban planning, climate research, or resource management. It suits people who want technical skills with a geographic or environmental focus and benefit from the co-op option to work in the field while studying.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
