| 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. | Health Promotion combines the study of how to improve public health and wellness with practical skills in managing health data and understanding exercise science. You'll learn about disease prevention, community health programs, and how technology helps track and communicate health information, alongside the science of how bodies respond to physical activity. This program suits students interested in preventive health work — rather than treating illness — who want a mix of science and practical application. | This program teaches you to perform and interpret diagnostic tests on blood, tissue, and other body samples in hospitals and labs. It focuses on the hands-on skills and scientific knowledge that lab technicians use to help doctors diagnose disease. The Northern Access Initiative means the program is designed for students from remote or underserved regions of Ontario, with support to help you succeed in a full-time, lab-based career. | Kinesiology is the study of how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics alongside sport science to understand muscle, bone, and cardiovascular systems. This program suits students interested in exercise science, athletic performance, or health-related careers who want deeper biological knowledge than general physical education offers. |

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.
