What it is	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.	You study both teaching and social work together, learning how to educate young people while understanding the social issues that affect their lives and families. This concurrent program combines teacher training with social work coursework rather than requiring you to complete a teaching degree first. It suits people who want to teach but also care deeply about supporting students' wellbeing and addressing inequality in schools.	You study to become a high school teacher in health or a related subject, while simultaneously earning a degree in that subject itself. Instead of finishing one degree and then teacher training separately, you do both at the same time over four years. This program suits students who know they want to teach health, science, or a similar field and want to combine their subject expertise with teaching credentials from the start.
