What it is	This is a four-year science degree focused on understanding natural systems and how human activity affects them. You study biology, chemistry, ecology, and earth science together rather than picking one specialty. It suits students who want a broad grounding in environmental problem-solving and are comfortable with lab work and field studies.	You study philosophy, political theory, and social policy through an interdisciplinary lens, examining real-world ethical problems like justice, inequality, and human rights. Unlike a straight philosophy major, this program anchors abstract thinking in contemporary social issues and policy solutions. It suits students who want to understand the theoretical foundations of social problems and are drawn to careers in advocacy, public policy, or social justice work.
