What it is	Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms — their structure, function, genetics, ecology, and how they interact with their environment. At Brock, you can pursue this as a straight Bachelor of Science or combine it with teacher education through the BSc/BEd, which qualifies you to teach biology in Ontario high schools. The program includes a co-op option that integrates paid work terms with your studies, giving you practical experience in research labs, government agencies, or industry.	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.	Environmental Science is the study of how living things, ecosystems, and physical systems like weather and geology interact with human activity. You'll combine biology, chemistry, geography, and environmental policy to understand problems like pollution, climate change, and resource management. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at environmental organizations or agencies alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.
