Health Research Specialization
A specialization provides a secondary area of study in addition to your major. It usually consists of 6-8 courses and will be recognized on your degree.
Employers need professionals who can understand, generate, and interpret health research to help them make effective decisions. Graduate and professional schools are looking for students who have experience in research design, data management, and analysis.
The Health Research Specialization will provide you with advanced opportunities to generate and interpret health research and evaluation data that is vital to the development of health programs, services, and policies. This specialization will provide you with a strong understanding of research methods, access to advanced seminars, and the opportunity to conduct an honours thesis (research project) under the supervision of a professor.
Refer to the Undergraduate Calendar for a full list of courses in this Specialization.
How do I apply?
If you are a current student interested in pursuing the Health Research Specialization, see your academic advisor after first year to actively start planning your course sequence. A completed Plan Modification Form (.pdf) must be submitted to your advisor before the beginning of your 3B term.
If you are a future student interested in this specialization you should apply to the Health Studies program (co-op or regular). You can declare the specialization at the end of your first year.
