What it is	You study the biology and chemistry of human bodies and disease, focusing on how cells, tissues, and organs work at a molecular level. This program is more lab and research-intensive than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in medical research, diagnostics, or graduate studies in medicine or health sciences. It suits students who are curious about how the human body functions and want hands-on experience in scientific investigation before deciding on a health-care or research path.	You study how the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option.
