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.	You study nursing, which means learning how to care for patients, understand human biology and health conditions, and develop the clinical skills you'll use in hospitals and clinics. This four-year program combines classroom learning with hands-on practice in real healthcare settings from early on, rather than delaying clinical work until later years. It suits people who want direct patient care, can handle shift work and emotional demands, and are comfortable with both science and people skills.	This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications. Unlike a standard nursing degree, it includes specialized coursework in pharmacology and clinical decision-making that prepares you to diagnose and treat independently in specific practice settings. It suits people who want hands-on patient care combined with expanded clinical authority and the ability to manage medication decisions.
