| 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. | 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. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching. |
