| What it is | Environmental Biology is the study of how living organisms interact with their natural surroundings — plants, animals, ecosystems, and environmental problems like pollution and climate change. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses, preparing you to lead environmental projects or organizations, whereas the straight BSc focuses purely on the science. This program includes co-op work terms, letting you gain field or lab experience while you study. It suits people drawn to solving real environmental challenges and wanting hands-on experience before graduation. | A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine. | You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine. | Biochimie is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology at the molecular level. You'll learn how proteins, enzymes, and other molecules work together to keep cells alive. This program includes a co-op work placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in labs or biotech companies, and it's taught in French. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
