Program details

Overview

Environment and Health is a concentration within Carleton University's Bachelor of Health Sciences program examining the influence of environmental exposures on human health, from everyday toxins to the effect of climate change on global infectious disease patterns. Coursework includes health science communication and environmental pollution and health, covering the detection, assessment, management and mitigation of chemical, physical and biological hazards. Students can complete a paid summer research internship or take part in research through the program curriculum, and complete a Capstone project that provides practical experience through research field placements. Graduates pursue roles such as clinical research coordinator, health researcher, and positions within the pharmaceutical industry, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy and policy analysis, among other health-related fields, drawing on the program's combined health sciences and environmental science training.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours), which includes the Environment and Health concentration, requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent with six Grade 12 U or M courses. These must include Advanced Functions and two of Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Sciences, or Physics; Calculus and Vectors and a 4U English course are both recommended but not required. Transfer applicants are considered for a limited number of places; offers are normally made to those with an overall CGPA of 9.00 (B+) or higher. The Bachelor of Health Sciences (non-Honours) has no direct entry and is restricted to students transferring from the Honours program. The overall admission average required for direct entry is set each year on a program-by-program basis, and meeting the stated minimum establishes eligibility for consideration only, since enrolment is limited.
