What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing.	Neuroscience at Brock combines biology, chemistry, and psychology to study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules to behaviour. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or related organizations, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students drawn to understanding how the mind functions, who want hands-on research or clinical experience, and who value learning in real workplace settings.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy.
