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.	This program combines the study of how cities and human communities interact with natural systems, drawing on environmental science, geography, and social perspectives. You'll examine urban planning, resource use, climate impacts, and sustainability solutions across both natural and human dimensions. The co-op option lets you work in government, nonprofits, or consulting firms while you study, which suits people who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.	Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems (like climate and landforms) and human societies, plus the tools and methods to map and analyze them. This program includes a co-op placement, which means you'll alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms with employers in the field. It suits people interested in environmental issues, urban planning, resource management, or spatial analysis who want practical experience alongside their degree.
