What it is	Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.	This program teaches you Earth's physical systems: rocks and minerals, landforms, weather patterns, soil, and water. You'll study how natural processes shape the planet and how humans interact with the environment through forestry, geology, and environmental management. It suits students curious about natural systems and interested in careers protecting ecosystems or managing natural resources.	This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path.
