Bachelor of Science (Honours), Major in Health Science
The B.Sc. in Health Science program is designed to prepare students for public and private sector careers in health research, health practice, health product production, and distribution, and health management. It also prepares students for entry into schools of health or graduate studies.
The objectives of the degree are as follows:
- To provide students with a strong foundation in the basic sciences together with writing and critical thinking skills.
- To provide students with a broad knowledge of the various health professions involved in the Canadian health system.
- To equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for employment in health service delivery, health research, production and distribution of health products, and other health-related fields.
- To provide students with the educational prerequisites necessary for entry into a) post-graduate degrees in the sciences, and b) qualified health professional programs (e.g. medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy, medical technical programs, pharmacy).
- To provide students with the opportunity to integrate an understanding of complementary medicine (e.g., naturopathy, traditional Asian medicine) with the basic sciences.
The B.Sc. in Health Science is designed around a core of required basic science and health science courses, complemented by health science and open electives that provide graduates with a solid science foundation but also with critical health research, communication, and management skills for future success.
Please note that the first and second-year courses required in the program are normally available on both Richmond and Surrey campuses. However, the courses with the prefix "HSCI" will be offered on the Surrey campus only.
