| What it is | This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications. Unlike a standard nursing degree, it includes specialized coursework in pharmacology and clinical decision-making that prepares you to diagnose and treat independently in specific practice settings. It suits people who want hands-on patient care combined with expanded clinical authority and the ability to manage medication decisions. | You study the science and skills of patient care, learning anatomy, pharmacology, and hands-on clinical practice to become a registered nurse. Unlike general science programs, nursing is direct-entry and includes mandatory clinical placements in hospitals and healthcare settings starting early. It suits people who want to combine science knowledge with direct patient interaction and are ready for the responsibility that comes with healthcare work. | Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science through lab work and practical classes. This program suits students interested in sport science, fitness, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation rather than coaching or athletic training alone. | Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields. |
