The Health Studies Honours BA, Honours BASc and Minor, and HS courses are only available at the Brantford Campus.
Laurier Brantford's Honours BA in Health Studies, combined with
contemporary studies is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of
health care that takes account of the social and organizational impacts
on health and well being. This program covers a wide range of topics
within the field of health and gives students the opportunity to focus
on one of three areas: health policy and analysis, gerontology or
community health care. Graduates of the health studies program will
have a sound knowledge of the Ontario and Canadian health care systems.
