What it is	You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.	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.
