| What it is | You 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. | Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies. | 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 combines environmental science, geography, and business thinking to explore how people use and sustain natural resources. Unlike a pure environmental science degree, it emphasizes the economic and entrepreneurial side of solving environmental problems, and includes mandatory work terms where you apply what you learn in real jobs. It suits people who care about the environment but want practical business and policy skills alongside scientific understanding. |
