What it is	A Chemistry program teaches you how matter behaves, how substances react and transform, and the principles underlying everything from medicines to materials. You'll study atomic structure, chemical reactions, and analytical techniques through labs and lectures. This co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at chemistry-related employers, building real experience while earning.	Chemistry at Brock is the study of matter, reactions, and the properties of substances. You learn how atoms and molecules interact, and gain hands-on lab experience. The BSc/BEd option combines chemistry with teacher education so you can qualify to teach high school science. The co-op option lets you alternate semesters of study with paid work in chemistry-related jobs, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate. This suits students who want a practical understanding of how chemistry works in industry or education.	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.
