What it isGerontology is the study of aging and older adults, covering how bodies and minds change with age, the psychology of getting older, and the social policies that affect seniors' lives. You'll learn about health information systems, aging-related health conditions, and how society can better support an aging population. This program suits people interested in healthcare, social services, or policy work with older people.You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction.
