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.	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.	This program combines the study of how conflicts arise and persist with the investigation of human rights law and advocacy. You examine political systems, international relations, and social policy through coursework in both conflict resolution and rights protection. It suits students interested in diplomacy, international organizations, law, or social justice work who want practical workplace experience alongside their degree.
