Bachelor of Public Health (Co-op)

Program Description Doctors might help a dozen or so patients a day. Public health professionals help thousands. Students will have the opportunity to explore how social, cultural, political, and geographical conditions play a pivotal role in health — and how understanding these factors can help us tackle smoking, obesity, infectious diseases, and other modern-day health challenges.

By drawing on skills from different disciplines, students will learn how to develop health policies that work and health messages that hit home. In their final year, students will complete a thesis, an independent study, or a community engagement placement.

A Bachelor of Public Health degree will equip students to make important contributions to society, whether it’s researching ways to control infectious diseases such as COVID-19, developing healthy eating campaigns for teenagers, or improving social services for seniors in their communities.
