Course Description

The Bachelor of Health Science (BHSc) is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of health and healthcare from a scientific and interdisciplinary perspective. The program typically covers a broad range of topics related to health and wellness, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, disease pathology, and behavioral health. The curriculum also covers healthcare delivery systems, health promotion and disease prevention, and the social and cultural aspects of health.

The BHSc degree provides students with a strong foundation in the scientific and academic principles that underlie the health sciences, as well as the skills and knowledge needed to work in various healthcare settings. Graduates of the program may pursue careers in a variety of fields, including public health, healthcare administration, nursing, occupational therapy, and more.

The length of the program can vary, but most BHSc programs take four years to complete and require the completion of 120-130 credit hours of coursework. The program may also include a clinical component, where students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a healthcare setting.
