Langara's Health Sciences Associate of Arts Degree is a two-year university-transfer credential in a wide-ranging field that draws on many disciplines to understand and improve human health. The program focuses primarily on public health, the branch of medicine studying variation in health within and between populations, with the aim of developing and delivering interventions that reduce health inequity and inequality locally, nationally, and internationally. The curriculum spans traditional arts subjects, including anthropology, psychology, sociology, geography, history, philosophy, and political science, alongside science subjects such as chemistry, biology, environmental science, and statistics. As an Associate of Arts, the program emphasizes the humanities and social-science stream while sharing its multidisciplinary approach with the parallel Associate of Science option. The degree is offered full-time or part-time, with intakes in September, January, and May, and its courses are designed to transfer toward a bachelor's degree in health sciences or a related discipline at partner universities.
