| What it is | Environmental Studies is the scientific and social examination of how humans interact with the natural world — covering ecology, climate, conservation, pollution, and policy. This program teaches you both the science behind environmental problems and the social, economic, and political solutions. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with environmental organizations, government agencies, or industry, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. | You study rocks, minerals, earth processes, and how the physical environment works. Geology sits at the overlap of physics, chemistry, and biology, focusing on how Earth's materials form, change, and interact. This program suits people curious about natural resources, environmental problems, or how the planet works at a fundamental level. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
