What it is	You study chemistry at the university level, learning how atoms and molecules work, react, and form substances. This program lets you do paid work terms at companies and labs alongside your courses, giving you real workplace experience in chemistry fields before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning and a chance to explore whether chemistry research, industry work, or another science career appeals to them.	Chemical biology is the study of how chemicals and molecules work inside living cells and organisms, blending chemistry and biology together. Unlike a straight chemistry or biology program, you focus specifically on the molecular level of life processes. The co-op option means you alternate between school terms and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in the field. This suits people who want hands-on workplace learning and are curious about both how molecules behave and how life functions.	You study chemistry alongside medical and biological sciences, learning how molecules, cells, and chemical processes work in living systems. This combines pure chemistry with applied health science rather than focusing only on one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding the chemical basis of medicine, pharmacology, or biochemistry without committing to a professional health program like medicine.
