| What it is | Chemistry is the study of matter, reactions, and molecular structure. The BSc focuses purely on chemistry and science, while the BSc&Mgt combines chemistry with business and management courses, suited for students interested in industry roles. Both programs include mandatory co-op work terms, giving you paid experience at chemical companies or research labs alongside your degree. | You study science and business together in one program, combining technical subjects like chemistry or biology with courses in marketing, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. Unlike a regular science degree with a business minor added on, this program integrates both throughout, so you learn how science discoveries become commercial products. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work placements. This suits students who want a science background but also care about bringing ideas to market or running a company. | You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences. |
