What it is	Earth Sciences is the study of rocks, minerals, landforms, and the physical processes that shape the planet. You'll learn geology — how Earth's crust forms and changes — alongside physical geography, which focuses on climate, water systems, and landscapes. This program includes a co-op work term, giving you hands-on experience in the field or with industry partners.	Earth Sciences is a study of rocks, minerals, Earth's structure, and environmental systems — how the planet works and how humans interact with it. The program includes a co-op work placement component, meaning you alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at companies or organizations in geology and environmental fields. It suits students curious about natural systems and interested in learning through hands-on experience in the workplace.	This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.
