What you study	Environmental Studies	Animal Science Anthropology Archaeology Astronomy	Accounting Anthropology Archaeology Biological Sciences
What it is	You study how environmental problems work and how to solve them, covering topics like ecology, pollution, resource management, and sustainability. This program draws from biology, chemistry, and earth science rather than focusing on one discipline alone. It suits students who want to understand environmental systems deeply and are interested in practical or research-based work in conservation, industry, or government.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.	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.
