What it is	Health Sciences is a broad program combining study of how health systems work, the use of technology and data in healthcare, and social policy that shapes health outcomes. It differs from biology or medicine by focusing on the bigger picture of health delivery and policy rather than pure life sciences or direct clinical training. It suits students interested in healthcare careers beyond clinical practice, like health administration, public health, or health technology roles.	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.	Health Sciences is the study of how health systems work, what keeps people healthy, and how to solve health problems using science and technology. Unlike a nursing or medicine program, it does not train you to be a specific licensed practitioner, but instead gives you a broad science foundation that can lead to roles in health policy, public health, or health technology. It suits people interested in the science side of healthcare who want flexibility in their career direction.
