What it is	Chemical biology is the study of how chemicals and molecules work inside living cells and organisms, blending chemistry and biology together. Unlike a straight chemistry or biology program, you focus specifically on the molecular level of life processes. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in the field. This suits people who want hands-on workplace learning and are curious about both how molecules behave and how life functions.	Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.
