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.	You study physical sciences — chemistry, physics, geology, and environmental topics — with a focus on how they connect to human health and the living world. This stream emphasizes the intersection between earth and life sciences rather than pure physics or chemistry alone. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at relevant employers alongside your degree. It suits students interested in environmental health, toxicology, or science careers that bridge the natural world and wellness.	Environmental Management teaches you how to assess and solve real-world environmental problems — like water quality, habitat loss, and land use — by combining biology, geology, geography, and forestry. Unlike a pure science degree, it focuses on the practical side: working with communities, governments, and organizations to manage natural resources and protect ecosystems. It suits students who want hands-on environmental work and are willing to take co-op placements where you'll apply what you learn on actual projects.
