What it is	Environmental Biology is the study of how living organisms interact with their natural surroundings — plants, animals, ecosystems, and environmental problems like pollution and climate change. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses, preparing you to lead environmental projects or organizations, whereas the straight BSc focuses purely on the science. This program includes co-op work terms, letting you gain field or lab experience while you study. It suits people drawn to solving real environmental challenges and wanting hands-on experience before graduation.	This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one.	You study how people communicate and influence each other through media, advertising, journalism, and marketing. This program blends theory from multiple disciplines — sociology, psychology, media studies — rather than focusing on just one communication skill. It suits students interested in how messages shape society and who want flexible options across journalism, public relations, advertising, and media industries.
