Build a Health Science Foundation at Providence

This program will provide you with a foundation in the health sciences. You will take foundational courses in biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology, microbiology, sociology, genetics, biochemistry and psychology. Taking courses in different health-related disciplines will help you find your passion, and then be able to pursue further studies to specialize in the discipline of your choice.

If you are interested in a career in health science and want to keep your option open, this program is for you. It will open doors to professional programs such as medicine or rehabilitation therapies such as occupational therapy or physiotherapy, and also to some graduate schools that do not require an honours degree.
