What it is	Biomedical Biology focuses on how human body systems work at the cellular and molecular level, combining biology with chemistry to understand disease and health. It differs from a general biology program by emphasizing medical applications and the chemistry underlying biological processes rather than ecology or organism diversity. This program suits students interested in health sciences who want a foundation in lab-based research before pursuing medicine, dentistry, or other clinical fields.	You study business and finance with a focus on health-care data and systems. This combines commerce training with health informatics, so you learn to analyze health-care operations and information rather than just general business. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in health-care or health-tech organizations. This program suits people interested in the business side of health care, who want practical work experience alongside their degree.
