| 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. | Environmental Studies is the academic examination of how human societies interact with the natural world, combining perspectives from ecology, policy, economics, and social science. Because this program is bilingual, you'll study and write in both English and French throughout your degree, which deepens your ability to work in Canadian environmental fields. This program suits people curious about environmental problems who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines rather than specializing in one science. | A three-year Biology degree focuses on living organisms, cells, genetics, ecology, and how life systems work. This shorter format lets you finish faster than a four-year program while covering core biology topics. It suits students who want solid grounding in biological sciences without the extended timeline of an honours degree. |
