| What it is | This is a four-year science degree focused on understanding natural systems and how human activity affects them.

It suits students who want a broad grounding in environmental problem-solving and are comfortable with lab work and field studies. | This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities. | This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them.

It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study. | You study how to create practical solutions to social problems by combining ideas from business, politics, and social sciences.
