Minor in Health Sciences |
30 |
A Minor in Health Sciences is also available to students enrolled in other University of Ottawa programs. In fact, it can be combined with programs in many other disciplines in the sciences, social sciences or humanities. The minor provides an opportunity for students to develop, within the field of healthcare, broad, transferable intellectual skills, while acquiring a solid and diverse knowledge base.
This program can be chosen only as a second study module as part of a 120-credit bachelor’s degree that allows a minor.
Direct admission is not possible.
