What it is	You study how to provide direct patient care, manage medical procedures, and support people through health challenges in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This is a professional program leading to registered nurse credentials, different from general health sciences because it combines classroom learning with supervised clinical placements where you work alongside experienced nurses. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with detailed science and precision in a fast-paced environment.	This program combines environmental science, geography, and business thinking to explore how people use and sustain natural resources. Unlike a pure environmental science degree, it emphasizes the economic and entrepreneurial side of solving environmental problems, and includes mandatory work terms where you apply what you learn in real jobs. It suits people who care about the environment but want practical business and policy skills alongside scientific understanding.
