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.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	You study core business subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, and human resources, alongside economics and psychology. This program includes a co-op stream, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want practical business skills and prefer learning by doing, not just theory.
