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 health care, broad, transferable intellectual skills, while acquiring a solid and diverse knowledge base.

Complementary program — this program can only be taken as a second program of an honours degree or a four-year general degree. Direct admission is not possible.

Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2012-2013 calendars for the previous requirements.
