What you studyEnvironmental StudiesEnvironmental Studies
What it isA three-year Biology degree focuses on living organisms, cells, genetics, ecology, and how life systems work. This shorter format lets you finish faster than a four-year program while covering core biology topics. It suits students who want solid grounding in biological sciences without the extended timeline of an honours degree.Environmental Studies is the scientific and social examination of how humans interact with the natural world — covering ecology, climate, conservation, pollution, and policy. This program teaches you both the science behind environmental problems and the social, economic, and political solutions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with environmental organizations, government agencies, or industry, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree.
