Bachelors in General Science in Canada

Plant Ecologists study the interactions among plants, between plants and the environment, and between soils, plants and animals. Forestry industries, human and livestock health, and agriculture all depend on healthy plant communities and ecosystems.

Assess the costs and benefits associated with the choices we make. Address a wide range of issues in markets, health, the environment, finance and public policy. Learn how to analyze your options and make optimal decisions. 

The Faculty of Science provides excellent training in scientific areas. The Bachelor of Science General degree provides breadth and depth of scientific understanding and comprises introductory Science courses and upper level Science courses from two departments of your choice. This is a flexible degree program – students can switch to a Major or Honours program at any point in their studies (subject to eligibility) and is a great preparation for further study in professional faculties, such as Medicine.

The goal of the Graduate Program in Reproductive and Developmental Sciences is to provide students with a broad knowledge of mammalian reproductive and developmental biology, as well as with in depth expertise in at least one area of research, including:

• reproductive and molecular endocrinology
• immunology of reproduction
• maternal adaptations to pregnancy
• women’s mental health
• gynecologic cancers
• prostate cancer
• fertilization and early embryonic development
• placental development
• perinatal metabolism
• fetal/neonatal physiology and pathophysiology
• perinatal epidemiology

Other areas of research on human health and disease as it relates to male and female reproduction are also possible, including perinatal and postnatal health topics.

Basic science, clinical or epidemiological research projects are possible.

Conserving healthy environments while developing and managing sustainable uses of them is crucially important now and for future generations. This program teaches you about the challenges and approaches used to identify, advocate, and manage for healthy ecosystems.

This degree builds your knowledge to enter a solutions-based career as a conservation professional who contributes to solving today’s conservation and management problems.

Drawing upon knowledge from Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Physics, you will encounter a mixture of technical and theoretical learning in both the classroom and laboratory to unravel how the universe is put together and the impact of science on our everyday lives. Build your degree to focus on your area(s) of passion while enjoying the flexibility to try something new to expand your skills and knowledge!

Hormones, steroids and neurotransmitters start pumping through our brains the minute we’re born. Chemicals like adrenalin, cortisol, serotonin and dopamine play key roles in our emotions. When you study behavioural neuroscience, you’ll investigate the links between the chemical changes in the brain, emotions and behaviour.

This one-year entry option allows you to explore three different areas of science: Biology, Chemistry and Medical Physics. You can use this time to discover your strengths and interests before applying to transfer to one of the three programs to complete your degree.
