What it isThis program trains you to teach health and physical education to junior and intermediate students (grades 7–10), combining teacher education with specialized study of how exercise, sport science, and health information systems affect wellbeing. Unlike a general education degree, it embeds science content directly into teaching methods so you graduate both certified to teach and grounded in the health sciences behind what you teach. It suits students who want to work with teenagers, care about fitness and wellness, and prefer a focused teaching path over a broad one.Global Health is a science degree that combines the study of health systems, data analysis, and policy with real-world development work across different countries. You learn how health issues connect to poverty, education, and government decisions, and you use technology to solve health problems in low-resource settings. Co-op work terms let you gain international experience while studying, making this a good fit if you want to work on health challenges beyond Canada.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.This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.
