| What it is | You study how to manage environmental problems using science, business, and planning tools — combining ecology, land use, and sustainability practices. This program requires a co-op work term, meaning you alternate between classroom and paid work placements in environmental roles, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to protect natural systems but also understand budgets, policy, and how organizations actually operate. | A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine. |

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.
