What it is	This is a first-year program that lets you explore different subject areas across disciplines before committing to a specific degree. You take courses in multiple fields — humanities, social sciences, sciences — to discover what interests you most, then choose your major after first year. It suits students who are unsure what to study or want to keep options open before deciding on a full program.	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.
