What it isA four-year Bachelor of Science in Biology teaches you how living organisms work, from cells to ecosystems, with a focus on environmental systems and conservation. You'll study ecology, genetics, physiology, and how species interact with their surroundings, combining lab work with field study. This program suits students who want a broad foundation in biology and are interested in environmental issues, rather than pursuing a specialized professional path like medicine or engineering.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.This program lets you earn two full degrees at once: a Bachelor of Arts in music and a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry. You study music performance or theory alongside chemistry, molecular biology, and advanced lab work in biochemical processes. It takes five years instead of four because you're completing two independent degree programs, and it suits students who are serious about both fields and want a credential in each rather than a single combined major.
