Trent's Bachelor of Science in Health program explores the multidimensional concept of health as defined by the World Health Organization emphasizing physical, mental, and social well-being. Students will critically examine patterns of health and wellness, morbidity, and mortality from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Courses focus on measuring health and illness, health behaviour, illness representations, models and values of health promotion, program evaluation, and health communications.
Students in the Health program will have the opportunity to put theory into practice with a 12-week placement in fourth year, where students engage in real-life application of health promotion in various community settings such as public health, clinics, agencies, and schools.
