| What it is | You study how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. Economics teaches you to analyze real-world problems — from inflation and unemployment to company strategy — using data and mathematical tools. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in government, finance, or business, giving you practical experience alongside theory. | You study how people interact with the natural environment, combining physical geography (climate, landforms, ecosystems) with human geography (cities, cultures, economics) and environmental problem-solving. The co-op option requires you to complete four paid work terms alongside your degree, giving you real-world experience in environmental consulting, urban planning, or conservation. This suits people who want to understand environmental challenges from both scientific and social angles and who value applying classroom learning in professional settings. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
