Meet current students
"What I really like is the flexibility of the program. There are lots of electives, and the final year is entirely electives."
Between adding an Aging Studies Option, a Health Research Specialization, and even a Japanese Language diploma, studying Public Health has given Jason the freedom to explore his curiosity. Add to that co-op experiences in hospitals, government, and research, and his future is full of possibilities.
