| What it is | You study how to teach physical education and health to high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately. | You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating. | A Bachelor of Science (General) lets you study science broadly across biology, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, choosing your own mix of courses rather than specializing deeply in one area. Unlike an honours program, it gives you flexibility to explore multiple sciences without committing to a single major or meeting the tighter requirements of a specialized stream. This suits students who are curious about science in general but aren't yet sure which direction appeals to them most. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
