The Bachelor of Arts (Pass) Community Health program focuses on community health and wellness emphasizing health promotion and health assessment as well as program development and evaluation. This foundational degree provides a broad overview of societal trends and systems related to health issues. Early during undergraduate studies, it is the students’ responsibility to research prerequisites for advanced courses as well as admission requirements for any post-graduate programs to which they may plan to apply.
