What it is	Chemistry at Brock is the study of matter, reactions, and the properties of substances. You learn how atoms and molecules interact, and gain hands-on lab experience. The BSc/BEd option combines chemistry with teacher education so you can qualify to teach high school science. The co-op option lets you alternate semesters of study with paid work in chemistry-related jobs, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This suits students who want a practical understanding of how chemistry works in industry or education.	This is a four-year degree combining the study of political systems and institutions with media, journalism, and how people communicate messages to audiences. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how politics and communication shape each other — analyzing political campaigns, news coverage, and public persuasion. It suits students interested in policy, political reporting, campaign work, or understanding how information flows in democratic societies.	This program combines the study of how people and organizations communicate with the analysis of politics and power. You'll take courses in media, journalism, persuasion, and political systems, learning how communication shapes politics and vice versa. It suits students curious about how messages, news, and public opinion influence policy and elections, especially if you want to alternate between classroom and work placements.
