What it isHealth Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works, what causes disease, and how to treat or prevent it using science and technology. You'll learn biology, chemistry, genetics, and specialized areas like medical technology or health informatics depending on your choices. Unlike a program that leads directly to a specific profession like nursing or medicine, this one keeps your options open: you can use it as a foundation for professional health careers, research, or roles in biotechnology and public health.You study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.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.
