What it isThis 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 how the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option.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.
