Curriculum and Courses Offered
A Bachelor of Health Sciences degree (BHSc) provides students with an interdisciplinary perspective of health and well-being, with professors drawn from a variety of traditional academic areas, including Anatomy, Epidemiology, Philosophy, Psychology, Anthropology, Nursing, Rehabilitation Sciences and Kinesiology.
Our interdisciplinary curriculum provides a solid foundation for students wishing to pursue professional training in medicine, or rehabilitation sciences (such as, speech pathology, physical therapy, or occupational therapy). It also provides an excellent background for students interested in careers or master's-level education in areas of health promotion, health policy, gerontology, bioethics, or health measurement.
