What you study	Anthropology Sociology	Health Informatics International Development Social Policy	Biological Sciences Biotechnology Genetics Human Biology
What it is	You study how human societies work and how people live together — sociology focuses on modern society and social structures, while anthropology looks at different cultures across time and place. Together they give you tools to understand why people behave the way they do, both in your own community and elsewhere in the world. This program suits people curious about human behaviour who want to explore it from multiple angles rather than pick just one approach.	This program teaches you how health systems, policies, and technology work across different countries and communities. You study international development, social policy, and health informatics — how data and technology shape healthcare delivery worldwide. The co-op option lets you work for four to eight months at a health organization while earning course credit, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand global health challenges and see how policy and technology can address them.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
