What it is	This program lets you study the French language, literature, and culture in depth, including how French works across different regions and contexts. You'll also learn translation skills, which sets it apart from a basic language course — you're not just learning to speak French, but understanding how meaning moves between languages and cultures. It suits students who love reading, writing, and the nuances of how language shapes thought.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.	Honours Science is a broad science degree where you choose your major from fields like biology, chemistry, environmental science, computer science, or archaeology. Unlike a general science program, an honours degree requires you to specialize in one subject and complete more advanced courses in that area. It suits students who want a strong grounding in science but haven't yet decided on one specific career path, or who want deeper knowledge in a particular field.
