| What it is | A Bachelor of Science is a four-year degree where you study science subjects in depth. You choose a major like Computer Science, Environmental Studies, Mathematics, Physical Geography, or Psychology, and take courses across your field plus some complementary subjects. It suits students who want a broad science education and plan to work in research, industry, education, or graduate studies related to their major. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | Environmental sciences combines biology, chemistry, economics, and Earth systems to understand how environments work and how human activity affects them. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements with environmental organizations, government agencies, or companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want practical skills in environmental problem-solving and prefer learning through both classroom study and workplace application. |
