What you study	Human Biology Nursing	Architecture Design
What it is	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.	Architectural Science is the study of how buildings work technically and functionally—covering structure, systems, materials, and design—rather than architecture as pure art. The co-op option lets you work at real firms alongside your studies, giving you paid work experience in the field. This program suits students who want to understand the practical side of building design and who value hands-on learning in an actual workplace.
