What it is	You study how to identify and solve health problems in communities and populations, rather than treating individual patients. This includes research into disease patterns, policy-making, and public health programs. The co-op requirement means you work in real health organizations alongside your coursework, giving you practical experience in areas like disease prevention, health education, and policy development. It suits people interested in the bigger picture of health and wellness across whole communities, not just clinical care.	Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.	Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields.
