Overview
Langara's Health Sciences Associate of Science Degree is a two-year university-transfer credential focused on public health, the branch of medicine studying variation in health within and between populations, with the goal of developing and delivering interventions that reduce health inequity and inequality locally, nationally, and internationally. Epidemiology forms the foundation of the curriculum, which draws on both arts subjects (anthropology, psychology, sociology, geography, history, philosophy, and political science) and science subjects (chemistry, biology, environmental science, and statistics). Coursework also addresses contemporary population-health topics such as addiction, ecohealth, gender, Indigeneity, sexual orientation, race and racism, sexuality, and social justice, and their impact on public and population health. As an Associate of Science, the program emphasizes the science stream while sharing its multidisciplinary approach with the parallel Associate of Arts option. The degree is offered full-time or part-time, with intakes in September, January, and May, and credits are designed to transfer toward a bachelor's degree in health sciences or a related field at partner universities.
