What it is	This program teaches you how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from cells and molecules to behaviour and thought. You study human biology, chemistry, and mathematics alongside neuroscience courses that explore how neurons communicate and how damage or disease affects the mind and body. If you choose co-op, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms at research labs or hospitals, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	Health Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works and what affects health and disease. You'll take courses in biology, chemistry, and related subjects, with options to specialize as you progress. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or health organizations, giving you real experience before graduation. This program suits students interested in understanding health from a scientific angle, whether or not they're certain about medicine or a specific health career yet.
