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 teaches you business and management skills with a focus on health data and information systems. Unlike a general commerce degree, you study how hospitals, clinics, and health organizations use analytics and technology to make decisions and run operations. It suits people who want to work in healthcare but prefer solving business and data problems over clinical work, and who are willing to do paid work terms alongside their studies.	This program lets you earn two degrees at once: a business administration credential covering accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship, plus an international studies degree in history, geography, or environmental studies. Unlike a typical business degree, you're required to complete a co-op work term, which gives you practical experience alongside classroom learning. It suits students who want both solid business training and deeper knowledge of global issues or a second subject area.
