Our Health, Aging & Society programs enable students to examine diverse subjects like health determinants, aging wellness, psychological wellbeing, substance dependency, and social aspects of aging. These undergraduate programs prepare learners to address challenges including healthcare availability, promoting positive aging attitudes, and substance abuse issues through social science frameworks.
Graduates from the Health, Aging & Society Department develop competencies in analytical thinking, written and verbal communication, and specialized understanding of health and aging through social science viewpoints. This encompasses theories about health disparities, healthcare system structures, societal influences on elderly populations, and the cultural dimensions of aging.
Third-year students can participate in practical field placements, collaborating with industry experts in their chosen specialization. The Aging and Society or Health and Society programs can be paired with other Social Sciences or Humanities disciplines. Additionally, students may focus on Mental Health and Addiction studies within either degree path.
These programs can be enhanced with various minor specializations or through Mohawk College certification. Admission to Health, Aging & Society programs is competitive, with published minimums not ensuring acceptance. Applicants may enter Health & Society I directly after secondary school or transition to Aging and Society/Health and Society majors after first-year studies.
