What it isThis program covers the study of living organisms and human behaviour, from genetics and microbiology to ecology, nutrition, and psychology. You'll choose a focus area like biological sciences, animal science, environmental studies, or psychology, and take courses that build on that specialization. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work in research labs, hospitals, or environmental organizations. It suits students curious about how life works at every scale, from cells to ecosystems to minds, and who want hands-on experience alongside theory.A Bachelor of Science Honours is a four-year degree where you specialize in one science discipline — such as biology, chemistry, environmental studies, or nutrition — and take supporting courses in math and other sciences. The honours designation means you complete a research project or thesis in your final year. Many students choose the optional co-op stream, which alternates study terms with paid work placements in related fields, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. This program suits students who want depth in a single science and are interested in research, lab work, or professional roles in health, environment, or industry.
