Instead of treating someone once they're sick, wouldn't it be better to prevent that illness in the first place? In Health Studies, students will learn to take the study of health beyond merely treating illness to focus on ways to prevent disease, to promote healthy lifestyles, and to improve health care systems. Students can enrich their education by choosing to add a specialization at the end of first year:

• Pre-Health Professions
• Gerontology
• Health Informatics
• Health Research

With your Honours Bachelor of Science in Health Studies, students will be well prepared for careers in public health, as well as in health professions such as medicine, physiotherapy, dentistry, and pharmacy.
