| What it is | You study how people interact with the natural environment, combining physical geography (climate, landforms, ecosystems) with human geography (cities, cultures, economics) and environmental problem-solving. The co-op option requires you to complete four paid work terms alongside your degree, giving you real-world experience in environmental consulting, urban planning, or conservation. This suits people who want to understand environmental challenges from both scientific and social angles and who value applying classroom learning in professional settings. | This program lets you earn both an arts degree and a teaching qualification at the same time, typically in four years. You choose a subject to study deeply (like English, history, or math) while taking education courses that prepare you to teach junior and intermediate grades. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to combine subject expertise with classroom training from the start, rather than doing them separately. |
