What it is	Environmental Science and Studies combines the study of natural systems, human behaviour, and environmental problems. The BSc focuses on the physical and biological side — climate, ecosystems, water and soil — while the BA emphasizes policy, society, and how people respond to environmental challenges. Both offer optional co-op work terms, letting you apply what you learn in real environmental organizations.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and biology across time and geography. You can pursue this through an arts lens (focusing on culture and history), a science lens (emphasizing human biology and evolution), or a combined arts and sciences approach. The program suits students curious about how people live and lived, rather than those seeking a single professional credential.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
