What it is	This program covers the science of how the human body works and how health systems use technology and data. Unlike a pre-med program, it does not guarantee entry into medical school and instead prepares you for careers in health research, data analysis, or public health. It suits students who are strong in science and math but want flexibility to explore health fields beyond clinical practice.	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.	This program lets you earn both a kinesiology degree and a teaching certificate in four years instead of five. You study human movement, exercise science, and nutrition alongside education theory and teaching methods, preparing you to teach high school physical education. It suits students who want to combine their interest in sport and exercise science with a career in secondary education.
