What it is	A BA in Geography covers the physical Earth — landforms, climate, ecosystems — alongside human systems like culture, economics, and cities. You'll study both natural processes and how people shape and live in different places. It suits students curious about why the world works the way it does and interested in solving real-world problems across environment and society.	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.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
