What it is	Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions that happen inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and molecular biology. You learn how molecules like proteins and DNA work at the chemical level, which is deeper than what you'd cover in a regular biology or chemistry program. This program offers the option to do paid co-op work terms alongside your studies, giving you real laboratory and industry experience before you graduate. It suits people curious about how life works at the molecular scale and interested in hands-on work in research, pharmaceuticals, or biotechnology.	You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.	A Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.
