DescriptionAs environmental issues increasingly become part of business operations, there is a growing demand for people who understand environmental issues and the business world. In Environment and Business, you'll gain a background in ecology, environmental economics, and environmental decision-making while developing expertise in finance, project management, accounting, marketing, and law. The program is the only one in Canada to integrate environmental and business courses with 20 months of paid co-op work experience. Through co-op, you'll gain paid work experience while trying out different career areas and earning money to help pay for your education.

As a graduate, you might use your unique background to develop business plans for alternative energy suppliers, to analyze the environmental record of a Fortune 500 company, or to help businesses reduce their ecological impacts. Study these interests in the business program that ranks #1 in Canada for combining business and sustainability.
