What it is	You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.	Environmental sciences combines biology, chemistry, economics, and Earth systems to understand how environments work and how human activity affects them. The co-op option lets you alternate between study terms and paid work placements with environmental organizations, government agencies, or companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want practical skills in environmental problem-solving and prefer learning through both classroom study and workplace application.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
