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.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
