What it isA 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.This program combines science courses with business studies, so you study both scientific subjects like chemistry, biology, or computer science alongside accounting, management, and economics. Unlike a straight science degree, you gain practical knowledge of how science-based industries operate and how to manage projects or companies. It suits students who want a science career but also care about the business side — whether that's starting a science company, managing research teams, or working in science-related industries.You study both business and science together as a combined honours degree, taking courses in fields like accounting, chemistry, computer science, or biology alongside business and economics. This differs from a straight business program because you develop scientific literacy and research skills, not just business knowledge. It suits people who want to understand how science and data work in real-world business contexts, or who haven't decided between these two interests yet.This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
