| What it is | Environmental Science combines the study of living systems and Earth's physical processes — like climate, water, and soil — to understand how natural environments work and respond to human activity. Unlike a program focused only on biology or only on geology, this degree integrates both to tackle real-world environmental problems. It suits students interested in conservation, resource management, or environmental consulting who want a broad scientific foundation rather than specialization in a single discipline. | You study how to manage environmental problems using science, business, and planning tools — combining ecology, land use, and sustainability practices. This program requires a co-op work term, meaning you alternate between classroom and paid work placements in environmental roles, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits people who want to protect natural systems but also understand budgets, policy, and how organizations actually operate. | You study how to use technology and information systems to solve business problems and manage operations in organizations. This program combines business knowledge with hands-on IT skills, unlike a pure computer science degree or a general business program. It suits people who want to work in technology roles within companies but prefer understanding business strategy alongside the technical side, and the co-op term gives you real workplace experience. |
