Bachelor of Health Studies (Honours) in Toronto Canada | York University

As technology evolves quickly and populations expand, there's increasing need for non-clinical health professionals like healthcare administrators, digital health experts, and policy analysts. York's Health Studies curriculum equips students for fulfilling careers in these areas while adopting a societal perspective on health. Beyond coursework in administration, digital health systems, and policy development, students explore diverse health topics across various social settings (such as socioeconomic status and disability, housing insecurity), featuring real-world healthcare scenarios. The program investigates how social determinants like income levels, stress factors, childhood experiences, social isolation, employment conditions, joblessness, community support networks, psychological wellbeing, substance use, nutrition, and mobility influence health outcomes. Students can pursue dual majors or minors within York's Faculty of Health or other university programs. The curriculum also allows students to complete prerequisite courses for advanced studies in professional fields (including medical or legal education) or graduate programs.
