What it isYou study how living cells work at the molecular level and how to use that knowledge to develop new medicines, materials, and industrial processes. This program combines pure chemistry with applied biotechnology, so you spend time both in theory and on practical applications that companies actually use. It includes a required co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This suits students who want hands-on lab work and are curious about bridging basic science with real-world problem-solving.This program teaches core business skills — accounting, finance, marketing, and management — through a combination of classroom learning and mandatory paid work terms. Unlike a standard business degree, you complete both a university honours degree and a college diploma, giving you credentials from two institutions and hands-on professional experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want a business foundation, learn better by doing, and value a mix of theory and workplace practice.This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.
