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.	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.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.	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.
