| 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 the chemistry of living things — how molecules work in cells and bodies, and how drugs and toxins affect them. This program combines chemistry and biology more deeply than a general life sciences program, with added focus on how substances interact with organisms. It suits students curious about medicine, pharmacy, drug development, or toxicology who want a stronger chemical foundation than biology alone provides. | This is a combined five-year degree that starts with physical activity science and fitness studies, then moves into occupational therapy — the practice of helping people regain function and independence through purposeful activities and exercises. Unlike completing these as separate degrees, this program integrates them from the beginning so your early coursework in anatomy and exercise science directly supports your later therapy training. It suits students interested in rehabilitation and working hands-on with people to improve their physical and mental well-being. |
