What it is	Biology is the study of living organisms, from cells and genes to whole animals and ecosystems. This program gives you broad training across these levels rather than specializing early in areas like medicine or ecology. It suits students curious about how life works and who want flexibility to pursue further study or careers in health sciences, research, or environmental fields.	A Science Major is a four-year degree where you study one science subject deeply — such as physics, biology, geology, or environmental science — along with complementary courses in math and other sciences. It differs from a specialized honours program in that you focus on breadth within your chosen field rather than pursuing a single narrow specialization. This program suits students who want solid grounding in a science discipline without committing to professional training like engineering or medicine.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
