| What it is | You study how to run and launch businesses while learning environmental science and sustainability principles. This combines business skills with ecological knowledge, so you understand both profit and environmental impact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real workplace experience in green business and sustainability roles. It suits people who want to work in business but care about environmental problems. | Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects. | You study how Earth's physical systems — rocks, soil, water, and climate — interact with living things and human activity. This program combines geology, geography, and environmental science rather than focusing on just one. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with employers in the environmental or resource sector alongside your coursework, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people interested in understanding environmental problems and possibly working in conservation, resource management, or environmental consulting. |
