Why choose Public Health and Social Policy?
Are you passionate about the health and well-being of communities?
At the School of Public Health and Social Policy (PHSP), we help you prepare for a career supporting health and community organizations that address health inequities.
Our programs examine public health, health promotion, and the social, environmental and structural determinants of health. We also support the 探花系列's focus on equity and social justice, and strong connections to local Indigenous communities.
Flexible online learning (BA-PH and MPH)
Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Public Health and Master of Public Health (MPH) programs are completed primarily online, giving you the option to complete your studies in your own community and balance work, life and study.
Hands-on learning (BA-PH and MPH)
A degree in Public Health and Social Policy gives you real-world work experience through practicum placements, which can lead to a fulfilling job—or complement your current career. You’ll also get to present your work and share with others at our year-end conference. Practicums are required as part of our BA and MPH programs.
In-person interdisciplinary research (SDH)
If you want to pursue graduate research your own way, we encourage you to explore the Social Dimensions of Health (SDH) program. Earn a Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in this on-campus program that combines the faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities, Education and Health.
