The Bachelor of Science in Health Science program equips students for careers in healthcare policy, research, administration, sales, and education. This program also serves as a foundation for admission to professional healthcare programs and advanced science degrees.

The degree aims to equip graduates with:

Core competencies in fundamental sciences including chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology, combined with advanced writing and analytical abilities.
The capability to utilize scientific principles in clinical, public, and community health contexts to address contemporary health challenges and explore wellness promotion strategies.
Academic requirements for admission to professional healthcare programs (such as medical, dental, or pharmacy schools) or graduate-level science studies.
A competitive edge for graduates pursuing alternative career paths or advanced studies in integrative medicine fields (like naturopathy or traditional Eastern medicine).
The Health Science B.Sc. curriculum centers on essential basic science and health science coursework, enhanced by specialized electives that build a robust scientific base while developing vital research, communication, and leadership skills for professional advancement.

Important: While first- and second-year required courses are typically offered at both Richmond and Surrey campuses, all HSCI-coded courses are exclusively available at the Surrey location.
