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.	Global Health is a science degree that combines the study of health systems, data analysis, and policy with real-world development work across different countries. You learn how health issues connect to poverty, education, and government decisions, and you use technology to solve health problems in low-resource settings. Co-op work terms let you gain international experience while studying, making this a good fit if you want to work on health challenges beyond Canada.	Gerontology is the study of aging and older adults, covering how bodies and minds change with age, the psychology of getting older, and the social policies that affect seniors' lives. You'll learn about health information systems, aging-related health conditions, and how society can better support an aging population. This program suits people interested in healthcare, social services, or policy work with older people.
