What it isNursing is a program where you study how to care for patients, manage their treatment, and support their health across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Unlike a general health science degree, nursing combines classroom learning in anatomy, pharmacology, and patient care with hands-on clinical placements where you work alongside qualified nurses. This program suits people who want direct patient contact, are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing, and are willing to work in demanding, shift-based roles.This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications. Unlike a standard nursing degree, it includes specialized coursework in pharmacology and clinical decision-making that prepares you to diagnose and treat independently in specific practice settings. It suits people who want hands-on patient care combined with expanded clinical authority and the ability to manage medication decisions.Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
