| What it is | You study the theory and practice of nursing care, learning anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, and clinical skills needed to work in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program is delivered at Mohawk College's campus rather than McMaster's main site, but follows McMaster's nursing curriculum and standards. It suits students who want hands-on healthcare training and are comfortable with science-based coursework and direct patient interaction. | You study how to become a registered nurse, learning anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills through classroom and hospital placements. This four-year program combines theory with hands-on patient care experience, preparing you to write the licensing exam and work in hospitals, clinics, or community health settings. It suits people who want direct healthcare practice and can commit to shift work and emotionally demanding environments. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement. |
