What it is	Biology is the study of living organisms, from cells and genes to plants and animals. This program lets you choose to add paid work terms in research labs or related industries alongside your courses, giving you real experience before you graduate. It suits students who want hands-on learning and a chance to explore career options while earning money.	Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms — their structure, function, genetics, ecology, and how they interact with their environment. At Brock, you can pursue this as a straight Bachelor of Science or combine it with teacher education through the BSc/BEd, which qualifies you to teach biology in Ontario high schools. The program includes a co-op option that integrates paid work terms with your studies, giving you practical experience in research labs, government agencies, or industry.
