What it is	This program teaches the science behind human health, public health systems, and how technology supports medical care. You'll study biology, chemistry, and data systems alongside social and policy issues in healthcare. The co-op option lets you work in hospitals, research labs, or health organizations while you study, which suits students who want real workplace experience before deciding on a health career path.	A three-year Bachelor of Arts lets you choose from humanities and social science subjects like history, English, anthropology, geography, and environmental studies. Unlike an honours degree, you complete fewer credits overall and have more flexibility to explore different fields or combine subjects without specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want a broad liberal arts education or who are still deciding what to focus on.
