What it is	You study living organisms, cells, and biological systems, with a focus on how they work at the molecular level and how that knowledge applies to real-world problems in medicine and industry. The BSc and Management stream combines science coursework with business and management courses, preparing you to lead teams or projects rather than work only in the lab. This program includes co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom study and paid jobs in research labs, hospitals, biotech companies, or government agencies. It suits people who want to understand biology deeply and also want hands-on experience before deciding whether they prefer pure research, applied science, or a management role.	Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms — their structure, function, genetics, ecology, and how they interact with their environment. At Brock, you can pursue this as a straight Bachelor of Science or combine it with teacher education through the BSc/BEd, which qualifies you to teach biology in Ontario high schools. The program includes a co-op option that integrates paid work terms with your studies, giving you practical experience in research labs, government agencies, or industry.	Science One is a general first-year science program that lets you explore multiple science disciplines — biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and others — before committing to a specific major. Unlike entering directly into a single science program, you take a broader range of foundational courses to discover which field best suits you. It works well for students who are interested in science but unsure which specialization to pursue.
