What it isYou study how to understand and protect natural environments while learning from Indigenous knowledge systems and practices. This program combines environmental science with Indigenous perspectives in a way that most environmental programs don't, centering Indigenous ways of knowing alongside Western science. It suits students interested in environmental work who want to ground their learning in Indigenous approaches and may want hands-on experience through the co-op option.You study how to repair, restore, and upgrade old buildings while making them environmentally sustainable. This program combines architecture, engineering, and environmental science — it's more specialized than a general architecture or engineering degree because it focuses specifically on conserving heritage structures and reducing their environmental impact. It suits people who care about preserving historic buildings and solving practical problems with green technology.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.A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
