| What it is | Computer Science is the study of how to design, build, and improve software and the systems that run it. You learn programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques that apply across industries. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you spend time applying what you learn in real jobs alongside classroom study, which sets it apart from a straight academic stream. | 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. | A 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. |
