| What it is | This four-year program trains you to become a registered nurse by teaching anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside theory about patient care and health systems. Unlike a college nursing diploma, this university degree emphasizes evidence-based research and independent thinking, preparing you for leadership roles in hospitals, clinics, or specialized nursing fields. It suits people who want a healthcare career rooted in science and are comfortable with both lab work and direct patient interaction. | You study human behaviour, relationships, and social systems from childhood through adulthood, drawing on sociology, psychology, and policy analysis. This program is broader than social work alone because it covers family dynamics, community development, and social change rather than focusing only on professional counselling or casework. It suits people interested in understanding how families and societies work and who want careers in social services, policy, research, or international development. | You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems. | 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. |
