What it is	This program lets you study science by mixing chemistry, physics, and other fields rather than focusing on just one. You design your own pathway through courses across multiple disciplines, so you might combine chemistry with environmental science or physics with biology depending on your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore where different sciences connect instead of committing to a single specialization.	You study the structure, composition, and processes of the Earth's rocky layers and landscapes, combining geology with physics and geography. Physical geology focuses on how rocks form, break down, and move, rather than on finding mineral deposits or fossils. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with industry or research employers alongside your studies, giving you real experience in the field.
