| What it is | Community health focuses on preventing disease and improving wellbeing in groups and populations rather than treating individuals one-on-one. You'll study how social factors, environment, and policy shape health outcomes, and learn to design programs that serve communities. It suits people interested in public health, health education, or working with diverse populations on prevention and equity. | You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development. | You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
