| What it is | This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field. | You study how Earth's physical systems — rocks, soil, water, and climate — interact with living things and human activity. This program combines geology, geography, and environmental science rather than focusing on just one. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with employers in the environmental or resource sector alongside your coursework, giving you real experience before you graduate. This suits people interested in understanding environmental problems and possibly working in conservation, resource management, or environmental consulting. | Life Sciences is a broad study of how living things work, from individual cells and genetics to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll choose a focus area like microbiology, human biology, genetics, or plant science, and take courses across biology, chemistry, and related fields. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
