This program will address the growing demand for University graduates in science to have the basic skill sets needed to function in a business environment. Businesses are playing an increasingly prominent role in science and technology in Canada, both in fundamental research and in the commercialization of innovative ideas to the marketplace. Partnerships between industry, academic institutions, and government agencies are thus on the rise. In particular, there is an expanding private sector in the life sciences, which includes everything from pharmaceutical companies making designer drugs to environmental consultants specializing in remediation. Also, science students who expect to proceed to professional school (Medicine, Dentistry, etc.) can benefit from this degree stream since they will generally be involved in running their own small business when they practice their profession.
