What it is	Environmental sciences combines biology, chemistry, economics, and Earth systems to understand how environments work and how human activity affects them. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements with environmental organizations, government agencies, or companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want practical skills in environmental problem-solving and prefer learning through both classroom study and workplace application.	Earth Sciences is a study of rocks, minerals, Earth's structure, and environmental systems — how the planet works and how humans interact with it. The program includes a co-op work placement component, meaning you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies or organizations in geology and environmental fields. It suits students curious about natural systems and interested in learning through hands-on experience in the workplace.	An Honours BA in Arts lets you study humanities and social sciences subjects like English, anthropology, economics, drama, and creative writing over four years. You choose your own combination of courses rather than following a single fixed major, giving you flexibility to explore multiple disciplines. This program suits students curious about human culture, expression, and society who want broad knowledge across several fields before deciding on a specialization.
