Health Studies is a distinct interdisciplinary undergraduate program that builds on and combines science, social sciences, and humanities/fine arts. Grouped around a set of core courses, this program offers a wide range of courses across the College of Arts and Sciences. The Health Studies program adopts an integrative perspective that emphasizes how the various aspects of health and wellness, including mental health, are understood within the context of interrelated systems such as individual, society, culture, and the environment. Within this systems perspective, the person occupies a central position and individual factors such as biology, genetics, personality, attitudes and abilities all impact upon health and development. Students who plan to apply to a professional program (e.g. Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, etc.) should consult the admission requirements for that program for guidance in choosing their program concentration and electives. Students who are considering applying to graduate programs should consult with an advisor in the specific department to which they intend to apply (at the University of Saskatchewan or other institution) to determine whether additional courses in the specific discipline will be required for admission. In some cases these requirements may be met by careful selection of electives.
