General Arts and Sciences - Health Sciences Certificate

The General Arts and Sciences – Health Sciences Certificate provides an interdisciplinary academic foundation for further study or entry-level work in the health care sector. Coursework covers anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology alongside communication, critical thinking, and mathematical principles relevant to health-related fields. The programme spans two terms, equivalent to one academic year, and is designed to prepare students for further study in health science or health care programmes, including possible transfer pathways. Students develop foundational scientific knowledge together with academic skills such as research and analytical writing, positioning graduates for continued study or entry-level roles requiring a general health sciences background. The certificate combines general arts and science requirements with a health sciences focus, distinguishing it from the college's general-stream Arts and Sciences certificate.
