What it is	You study chemistry — the science of how substances react, combine, and break down — covering theory and lab work. Unlike a general science program, you focus deeply on chemical principles rather than sampling many science fields. This suits students who find chemistry interesting in itself and want hands-on lab experience as a core part of their degree.	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.
