What it isYou 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.You start your first year studying foundational science — chemistry, physics, and related subjects that prepare you for medicine or specialized science programs. Rather than declare a major immediately, you complete a broad first year, then choose your focus (like biochemistry, physics, or health sciences) once you understand the field better. This suits students who know they want science but aren't certain which direction yet, or who want flexibility before committing.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.
