What it is	This four-year program trains you to become a registered nurse by teaching anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside theory about patient care and health systems. Unlike a college nursing diploma, this university degree emphasizes evidence-based research and independent thinking, preparing you for leadership roles in hospitals, clinics, or specialized nursing fields. It suits people who want a healthcare career rooted in science and are comfortable with both lab work and direct patient interaction.	Public health focuses on preventing disease and promoting health across entire communities and populations, rather than treating individual patients. This program includes coursework in social policy, epidemiology, and health systems. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with health organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits people interested in policy, community health, disease prevention, and understanding how social factors affect health outcomes.	This program combines environmental science and social justice, exploring how environmental problems affect communities and how policy and activism can address them. You study ecology alongside politics, sociology, and ethics rather than treating environmental issues as purely technical. It suits students who care about the environment but want to understand its human and political dimensions, and the co-op option lets you work in nonprofits, government, or advocacy organizations while you study.
