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.	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.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
