| 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. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching. |
