| What it is | This program combines environmental science, geography, and business thinking to explore how people use and sustain natural resources. Unlike a pure environmental science degree, it emphasizes the economic and entrepreneurial side of solving environmental problems, and includes mandatory work terms where you apply what you learn in real jobs. It suits people who care about the environment but want practical business and policy skills alongside scientific understanding. | This program combines psychology, biology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy to study how the mind works and how we think, learn, and use language. Unlike a straight psychology or computer science degree, cognitive science integrates all these viewpoints to understand cognition from multiple angles. It suits people curious about the science of thinking itself, who want breadth across disciplines rather than depth in just one. |
