What it isYou study how to provide direct patient care, manage medical procedures, and support people through health challenges in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This is a professional program leading to registered nurse credentials, different from general health sciences because it combines classroom learning with supervised clinical placements where you work alongside experienced nurses. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with detailed science and precision in a fast-paced environment.This program teaches you how to improve health at the population level by studying disease prevention, health policy, and data systems. You'll learn to analyse health trends, design public health programs, and use technology to track and manage health outcomes. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom study and paid work placements in real health organizations, giving you direct experience in the field and making it suit students who want hands-on learning alongside theory.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.
