What it is	This program teaches you economic theory and quantitative analysis — how markets work, how people make financial decisions, and how to use data and math to test economic ideas. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, government agencies, or research organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside your studies. It suits people who enjoy both math and thinking about how societies allocate resources, and who want to build practical skills before graduation.	This program trains you to teach high school while earning two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in environmental and urban change. Unlike a regular education degree, you study both teaching methods and a focused subject combining environmental science, geography, planning, and politics. It suits students who want to specialize in environmental or urban issues and pass that knowledge to students in a classroom.	This program combines environmental science, geography, and business thinking to explore how people use and sustain natural resources. Unlike a pure environmental science degree, it emphasizes the economic and entrepreneurial side of solving environmental problems, and includes mandatory work terms where you apply what you learn in real jobs. It suits people who care about the environment but want practical business and policy skills alongside scientific understanding.
