What it is	Midwifery is a healthcare program focused on supporting pregnant people through pregnancy, labour, and the postpartum period. Midwives provide hands-on clinical care and work as autonomous practitioners, distinct from nurses or physicians who follow different training paths. The program suits people drawn to direct patient care, maternity health, and community-based medicine who want specialized knowledge in childbirth and women's health.	You study the science of how food and nutrients affect human health and how to apply that knowledge in real-world settings. Unlike a pure nutrition science program, this applied degree emphasizes practical skills and work in clinical, community, or food service environments. It suits students who want to understand nutrition deeply but prefer hands-on problem-solving over laboratory research.	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.
