What it is	You study how Earth's systems work — its atmosphere, weather, climate, oceans, geology, and space — using physics, chemistry, and math. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your courses, giving you real experience in research labs or environmental organizations. It suits people curious about how the planet functions and wanting to test their skills in the field before deciding on a career.	Health Administration teaches you how to run hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. You'll learn business skills like budgeting, planning, and managing staff, combined with enough healthcare knowledge to understand what doctors and nurses actually do. This program suits people who want a career in healthcare but prefer management and operations over direct patient care or medical science.	A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine.
