What you study	Biological Sciences Biology Human Biology	—	Animal Science Biological Sciences Biotechnology Genetics
What it is	You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and genetics to human health and ecology. This program lets you do optional work terms alongside your courses, giving you paid experience in labs, hospitals, research centres, or biotech companies while earning your degree. It suits students interested in biology who want to test out careers before graduating and build professional connections.	Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms — their structure, function, genetics, ecology, and how they interact with their environment. At Brock, you can pursue this as a straight Bachelor of Science or combine it with teacher education through the BSc/BEd, which qualifies you to teach biology in Ontario high schools. The program includes a co-op option that integrates paid work terms with your studies, giving you practical experience in research labs, government agencies, or industry.	You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
