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.	You study how to run and launch businesses while learning environmental science and sustainability principles. This combines business skills with ecological knowledge, so you understand both profit and environmental impact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real workplace experience in green business and sustainability roles. It suits people who want to work in business but care about environmental problems.	Health Administration teaches you how to run hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. You'll learn business skills like budgeting, planning, and managing staff, combined with enough healthcare knowledge to understand what doctors and nurses actually do. This program suits people who want a career in healthcare but prefer management and operations over direct patient care or medical science.
