What it is	This program prepares you to become a registered nurse through a mix of classroom learning, chemistry and biology foundations, and clinical practice in real healthcare settings. Unlike a standard nursing degree, the collaborative model means you'll study alongside students from other health programs and learn in integrated teams that reflect how hospitals actually work. It suits people who want direct patient care, have solid science skills, and learn well by doing.	This is a first-year science program that teaches you foundational chemistry, physics, and related subjects before you specialize. Unlike going directly into a single honours program, you spend your first year exploring different branches of physical science, then choose your final degree path — either a pure science degree or a combined science and engineering degree. It suits students who are strong in math and science but aren't yet sure whether they want to focus purely on theory or blend science with applied engineering.	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.
