| What it is | You study how human activity shapes the natural world and how to address environmental problems through science, policy, and social change. This program combines natural sciences like biology and chemistry with social science perspectives, rather than focusing only on the pure science side. It suits students curious about climate, conservation, and sustainability who want flexibility to explore both the science and the policy angles. | This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning. | You study how the natural world works alongside the human systems that affect it. The BES focuses on environmental policy, conservation, and sustainability through social and geographic lenses, while the BSc emphasizes the physical science side: geology, ecology, and environmental processes. Both paths suit people interested in solving real environmental problems through either policy and community work or scientific research and analysis. |
