Program Overview

Examine the social, political, historical and cultural diversity of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and worldwide, all from Indigenous perspectives. Explore Indigenous intellectual traditions and how they apply to Indigenous and Canadian issues to advocate for respectful change. Learn intercultural communication and awareness that provides a foundation for career success in a variety of fields. You must complete this program with another Bachelor of Arts program.

Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Health Studies program explores and recognizes the wide range of social, biological and institutional factors that influence the health and well-being of communities defined by geography, socioeconomic status, gender, cultural makeup, ability and vulnerability.

In this program you'll learn to:

  • Identify the most significant health challenges in communities.
  • Evaluate the factors that create health risks for members of those communities.
  • Study and make recommendations for program and policy interventions that will improve the health status within your communities of concern.

Consideration is also given to the Canadian and Ontario health-care systems, and the policy framework that underpins the provision of health and social services to specific communities and the broader population.

Teaching Option
The Teaching Option is designed to provide you with a variety of courses and hands-on learning opportunities to prepare you for K-12 teaching. You will have the chance to explore foundational teaching-skill courses to get a glimpse of your future teaching career and prepare yourself for further studies – especially if you want to pursue a Bachelor of Education.
