What it is	Applied Health Sciences is a four-year degree that combines study of how the human body works with research into health policy and social factors that affect people's wellbeing. Unlike pure biology or chemistry programs, it focuses on real-world health problems and how systems can be improved to serve communities better. It suits students interested in healthcare careers who want both scientific grounding and understanding of the broader social side of health.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
