What it is	This certificate explores how human relationships and spiritual life connect through the study of psychology and sociology. You'll examine personal and community well-being, identity, and meaning-making from psychological and social perspectives. The program suits people seeking deeper self-understanding or working in counselling, pastoral care, education, or community support roles who want to study part-time alongside work.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
