Health Studies

The Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc) in Interdisciplinary Health Studies offers a multifaceted approach to the study of health, allowing students the opportunity to engage with health from biological, behavioural, social, environmental, ethical, historical, cultural and population perspectives. Drawing on concepts from across the life sciences, social sciences, and humanities, students will develop the critical thinking, analytic, and communication skills needed to engage in complex and nuanced issues such as health care for an aging population; confronting global pandemics; building healthy communities; and working for justice in health-care delivery and outcomes. Students will develop essential skills for a wide range of career paths related to health, including: foundational knowledge of life sciences; a fluency with various research methodologies and data analysis; exposure to another language (French or an Indigenous language); the development of research skills through a capstone research project; and the opportunity to pursue specialized studies through a concentration in one of three innovative topic areas:

Health Equity and Diversity: In the Health Equity and Diversity concentration, students will explore ways that health is socially and culturally constructed from a critical studies perspective. Students will analyze the ways in which oppression, marginalization, and health interact in society by considering how gender and sexism, colonialism, racism, sexual orientation, ageism, and dis/ableism, and the combination of these, impact the health of various social groups.

Health Analysis: In the Health Analysis concentration, students will develop the skills to analyze data on health in the population. Students will build an analytic toolkit including qualitative and quantitative analysis, statistical coding, geographic and spatial data analysis.

Environment and Health: In the Environment and Health concentration, students will explore the interdependence between human health, animal health, and the environment. Students will consider the ways in which the natural and built environment can shape health, such as exploring how the design of our cities impacts obesity rates, to the ways that climate change affects global patterns of infectious disease.

The Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Interdisciplinary Health Studies is designed for students seeking strong interdisciplinary training combining the life sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Students will develop a broad skill set that includes health analysis and research, health communications, and critical thinking which prepares them for a breadth of health-related roles or professional programs in health care and allied health care. There will also be opportunities to complete hands-on health-focused projects through a capstone project.

A Minor in Interdisciplinary Health Studies is also available to students, which will allow them to engage with key health topics including the social determinants of health, health communications, cultural dimensions of health, and the Canadian health-care system.

Given the wide breadth of courses students engage in for an Interdisciplinary Health Studies degree, majoring students are not required to undertake a minor from an additional specific discipline.
