| 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 arts subjects alongside business fundamentals in a joint-major degree. This combines the breadth of humanities and social sciences with business skills like finance, management, and organizational thinking, rather than letting you focus on just one. It suits people who want a flexible foundation for careers that blend analytical and communication skills across diverse fields. | A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on. | Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field. |
