What you studyEnvironmental StudiesEnvironmental Studies
What it isBiological 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 Studies is the academic examination of how human societies interact with the natural world, combining perspectives from ecology, policy, economics, and social science. Because this program is bilingual, you'll study and write in both English and French throughout your degree, which deepens your ability to work in Canadian environmental fields. This program suits people curious about environmental problems who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines rather than specializing in one science.A three-year Biology degree focuses on living organisms, cells, genetics, ecology, and how life systems work. This shorter format lets you finish faster than a four-year program while covering core biology topics. It suits students who want solid grounding in biological sciences without the extended timeline of an honours degree.
