What it is	Biology is the study of living organisms, from cells and genes to whole animals and ecosystems. This program gives you broad training across these levels rather than specializing early in areas like medicine or ecology. It suits students curious about how life works and who want flexibility to pursue further study or careers in health sciences, research, or environmental fields.	Environmental Studies is the academic examination of how human societies interact with the natural world, combining perspectives from ecology, policy, economics, and social science. Because this program is bilingual, you'll study and write in both English and French throughout your degree, which deepens your ability to work in Canadian environmental fields. This program suits people curious about environmental problems who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines rather than specializing in one science.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
