What it isThis program covers the study of living organisms and human behaviour, from genetics and microbiology to ecology, nutrition, and psychology. You'll choose a focus area like biological sciences, animal science, environmental studies, or psychology, and take courses that build on that specialization. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work in research labs, hospitals, or environmental organizations. It suits students curious about how life works at every scale, from cells to ecosystems to minds, and who want hands-on experience alongside theory.This program teaches you business and accounting skills alongside environmental sustainability — how companies manage money while reducing their ecological impact. Unlike a straight business degree, you study both financial management and environmental systems together, and co-op is mandatory, so you work in real companies for four months at a time throughout your degree. It suits people who want a career in business or finance but care about environmental responsibility and learn best by doing real work alongside classroom study.
