| What it is | Environmental Science is the study of how living things, ecosystems, and physical systems like weather and geology interact with human activity. You'll combine biology, chemistry, geography, and environmental policy to understand problems like pollution, climate change, and resource management. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at environmental organizations or agencies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. | You study how to manage environmental problems using science, business, and planning tools — combining ecology, land use, and sustainability practices. This program requires a co-op work term, meaning you alternate between classroom and paid work placements in environmental roles, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to protect natural systems but also understand budgets, policy, and how organizations actually operate. |
