What it is	You study both human geography — how people organize societies, economies, and cultures across regions — and physical geography, which covers landforms, climate systems, and natural environments. This program includes a co-op option, meaning you can complete paid work terms with employers in government, nonprofits, or environmental organizations alongside your coursework. It suits students interested in understanding global issues from multiple angles, whether through social, economic, or environmental lenses.	Geography is the study of Earth's physical systems — landforms, climate, water — and how humans interact with their environment and each other across space. You'll combine field research, data analysis using mapping technology, and social analysis to understand everything from urban development to environmental change. This program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid workplace experience alongside your studies.	You study how human activity shapes the natural world and how landscapes, climate, and ecosystems affect people and cities. The program offers multiple routes depending on your interests: a general arts degree, a combined arts and sciences track, an engineering focus for environmental systems, or a specialized environmental studies degree. It suits students curious about climate change, resource management, urban planning, or environmental policy who want both scientific and human perspectives.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
