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.	You study an arts subject like English, history, or mathematics alongside teacher training designed for elementary and early middle school classrooms. You complete both a bachelor's degree and teaching credentials in four years instead of five, combining academic courses with education theory and practice teaching. This suits students certain they want to teach their subject to younger students and want to finish their degree and teaching qualification together.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
