What it isA Chemistry degree teaches you the theory and practice of how substances interact, break down, and combine. You'll study pure chemistry alongside molecular biology and biochemistry, giving you a broader foundation than a straight chemistry program. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, so you can test whether lab or industrial chemistry work suits you before graduating.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.This is a broad science degree where you choose from fields like biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, geology, and others. You take foundational science courses in first year, then specialize by selecting which science subjects to focus on. Co-op is available, letting you do paid work terms at science-related employers alongside your studies.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
