What it is	Physics is the study of how matter, energy, and forces work at every scale, from atoms to galaxies. At Ontario Tech, you can do the standard Bachelor of Science in Physics, or combine it with a Business and Management degree if you want to develop skills in both areas. The program includes co-op work terms, letting you apply physics in real jobs alongside your studies. It suits people who want a strong grounding in physics theory and problem-solving, whether or not they're considering business or management later on.	You study chemistry and biochemistry alongside music performance or theory over five years, earning two degrees at once. Unlike a single major, you commit equal time to both fields, which means rigorous lab work and science courses paired with music ensemble, applied lessons, or composition. This suits students who have genuine strength and passion in both science and the arts, and want to pursue careers that might combine them or keep both paths open.	You study chemistry and music together over five years instead of the usual four. Chemistry covers atoms, reactions, and lab work; music covers performance, theory, and composition. This program suits people genuinely interested in both fields who want a full degree in each, not just a minor or elective courses alongside a major.
