What it is	This program teaches you nursing science and clinical skills, but it's designed for people who already have at least two years of university completed in another field. You'll earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing while completing the professional requirements to become a registered nurse. It suits career-changers and graduates from other programs who want to move into healthcare without starting over from first year.	Biomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular level, focusing on chemistry, genetics, and cell biology as they relate to human health and disease. It goes deeper into biochemistry and molecular mechanisms than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in research, diagnostics, or further study in medicine or related fields. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid work in labs or healthcare settings. It suits students who want a science degree grounded in medical applications but are not yet committed to a specific health profession.
