What it is	You study science — typically chemistry or physics — while simultaneously training to become a high school science teacher. You earn both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Education in four years instead of the usual five or six, moving through both programs together from day one. This suits students who are certain they want to teach science at the secondary level and want to complete their qualification efficiently.	A Science Non-Honours degree lets you study physical sciences — chemistry, geology, and related fields — without committing to a specialized honours stream. You complete a three-year program with broader course choices and fewer upper-level requirements than an honours degree, giving you flexibility to explore different areas before specializing or applying to professional programs. This suits students who want a solid science foundation, aren't sure which specialization to pursue, or plan to move into medicine, health sciences, or graduate study.	This program lets you study science broadly — chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and related fields — at university level. Unlike a specialized honours program in a single science, this one gives you flexibility to explore multiple areas before focusing deeper. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work in science-related industries. It suits students who are strong in math and sciences but not yet sure which direction to specialize in, or who want practical work experience alongside their degree.
