Calling all future health professionals! This program gives you a strong background in both biochemistry and biomedical sciences, fundamental to health and medicine. You’ll be in a lab within the first two weeks of this program and get the chance to conduct undergraduate research with hands-on learning in courses like CURE. You’ll get a chance to work alongside clinical researchers and medical professionals to learn about funding, project management, communication and other issues of cancer and health research.
Sample Courses: Human Anatomy, Genetics, Molecular Cell Biology, Cancer Undergraduate Research Education (CURE), Principles of Neuroscience, Biotechnology Laboratory, Pharmacology for Health Sciences
Career Tracks: Professional school (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry), industrial and government research and development, health and biomedical research in graduate studies, clinical researcher
Be on the cutting edge of scientific research in this program that focuses on human health and disease. The curriculum integrates hands-on learning in labs and provides opportunities for undergraduate research. You will be exposed to the latest molecular and cellular biology research and technology, while building transferable skills that are essential to careers in health sciences, industry, government and education.
Sample Courses: Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics, Organic Chemistry of Biomolecules, Medical Microbiology, Embryology
Career Tracks: Professional school (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry), biomedical and biotechnical researcher, quality assurance supervisor, clinical researcher, consultant
This science program is like a buffet — you can try a little of everything before deciding what you want for the main course. It’s ideal for students who want to explore more than one area or are undecided about what subjects to study. You’ll focus on three or four core science areas — biology, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, environmental science, mathematics, physics, or economics — and then concentrate on two of them. Many students who start in this program transfer to a more specialized four-year honours program after first or second year. Also, it’s excellent for those who want a fast tracked three year degree.
Sample Courses: Biological Diversity, Introductory Organic Chemistry, Introductory Physics, Differential Calculus, Introduction to Economics
Career Tracks: Professional schools (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry), health scientist, quality controller, lab technician, data analyst, programmer
The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program provides an exciting opportunity to combine a Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences and Psychology degree with unique interdisciplinary concentrations. This program allows students to explore global challenges and grow as thought leaders who can tackle issues in areas like global health, the environment and climate change, and sustainable development.
Multiple concentrations: Healthcare Economics, Healthcare Informatics, Health and Aging, Health and Society, Health and Gender Studies, Indigenous Health, Healthy Spaces and Place, Medical Humanities, One Health (Environmental Health) and Biostatistics.
Sample Courses: Human Anatomy, Genetics, Molecular Cell Biology, Cancer Undergraduate Research Education (CURE), Principles of Neuroscience, Biotechnology Laboratory, Pharmacology for Health Sciences
Career Tracks: Professional schools (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine), conservation officer, ecologist, entomologist, agricultural scientist, animal care specialist, laboratory supervisor, industrial and government research and development, health and biomedical research in graduate studies, clinical researcher
