What it is	Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care.	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	This program teaches you business and management skills with a focus on health data and information systems. Unlike a general commerce degree, you study how hospitals, clinics, and health organizations use analytics and technology to make decisions and run operations. It suits people who want to work in healthcare but prefer solving business and data problems over clinical work, and who are willing to do paid work terms alongside their studies.
