| What it is | This program teaches you how to design and manage the built and natural environments — from city neighborhoods and transportation systems to parks and land use. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at planning firms, municipalities, or environmental organizations, giving you real experience while you study. It suits people who want hands-on learning, enjoy solving problems about how communities develop, and are willing to commit to the co-op schedule. | You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one. | This program trains you to teach high school while earning two degrees at once: a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in environmental and urban change. Unlike a regular education degree, you study both teaching methods and a focused subject combining environmental science, geography, planning, and politics. It suits students who want to specialize in environmental or urban issues and pass that knowledge to students in a classroom. |
