This program leads to a Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) with a Public Health specialization over four years, delivered in-class at the North Oshawa campus, and can also be taken within the Health Sciences program. The interdisciplinary curriculum draws on physiological, sociological and epidemiological perspectives to examine health from the level of individual communities up to national and international populations. Students study the health status of populations, health inequities, determinants of health and illness, strategies for health promotion, disease and injury prevention, health protection, and the factors shaping the delivery and use of health services. Applicants apply directly to the specialization through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre. It suits students aiming at careers in public health, health promotion, epidemiology, or health policy, and provides a pathway toward further study, including medical school preparation routes offered alongside the program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits, including English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent, Biology (SBI4U), and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the mid-70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September and January.
