Health (B.Sc.)
Prepare for a career as a health professional, or become a well-rounded candidate for medical school by exploring the complex relationship between our physical, mental and social well-being.
This unique interdisciplinary degree program introduces students to a broad understanding of health, wellness, and the prevention and treatment of illness through courses across Psychology, Biology, Kinesiology, Sociology, and the Trent/Fleming School of Nursing.
