What it is	Environmental Geoscience is a program that combines the study of Earth's physical systems — rocks, minerals, water, atmosphere — with environmental problem-solving. It differs from pure geology by focusing specifically on how natural processes interact with human activities and environmental challenges. This program suits students interested in understanding natural systems and applying that knowledge to issues like contamination, resource management, and climate impacts.	You study the science and management of forests, learning about tree biology, ecosystem health, soil, and sustainable harvesting practices. The co-op option lets you work for forestry companies or government agencies during your degree, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This program suits students who want hands-on work with forests and ecosystems rather than purely classroom-based environmental study.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
