Health Studies: Population Health

Welcome to the Department of Health and Society. Our department is committed to interdisciplinary research and teaching about health, disability, illness, and disease. We are home to over 800 committed undergraduate students and faculty.

Students who choose to major in Population Health (BSc) will anchor their knowledge in a sophisticated understanding of health and illness’s biological determinants, including epidemiology, aging and the life cycle, and the impact of environmental factors on health, as realized in evolving Canadian and international settings.

Students who choose to major in Health Policy (BA) cultivate a sophisticated understanding of the structure and effectiveness of health care systems, including public health policy, health crises and management, caregiving across the life course, and pressing issues in health care delivery for marginalized communities.
