What it isThis 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.One Health is the study of how human health, animal health, and the environment are connected, drawing on biology, genetics, microbiology, and veterinary science. Unlike traditional biology or health science programs, it teaches you to see disease and wellness across all three systems rather than in isolation. The co-op option means you alternate between study terms and paid work placements. This suits people interested in public health, disease prevention, food safety, or environmental health who want hands-on experience before graduation.
