| What it is | Geography is the study of Earth's physical features and human societies, from climate and landforms to cities and cultures. This program lets you choose between a standard degree and a co-op option, which includes paid work terms at organizations that use geographic knowledge. It suits people curious about how natural systems and people interact, and who want either a broad education or workplace experience alongside their studies. | A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine. |

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.
