What it is	You earn both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science by studying music and geology together over five years. Rather than choosing one subject, you take courses in both fields in parallel, completing the full degree requirements for each. This program suits students genuinely interested in both disciplines who want depth in two very different areas rather than a traditional major-minor split.	This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.	This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.
