The Bachelor of Health Sciences – Workplace Health and Wellness degree is a unique honours degree program in Canada, the first of its kind. This program is multi-disciplinary in nature, drawing from the fields of leadership; mental, physical, and psychological health; business and communication; and knowledge translation. All combined, students acquire the competencies to develop proactive, evidence-based workplace health and wellness programs and health promotion programs. You will develop the skills to promote employee health, workplace culture, engagement, and retention.

Using a team approach, learners will work collaboratively with one another and with faculty to apply key principles of workplace health and wellness to real-world scenarios. Principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, as well as ethical and legal practices, are built into the content and application of your learning. Learners will be well prepared to help individuals and companies attain their health and wellness goals.

Work Placement

You will participate in one mandatory paid or unpaid 14-week work internship to gain full-time professional work experience. Work internship takes place during the summer between the 3rd and 4th years.

The experience will enhance the theoretical learning in the program, giving you hands-on application in workplace health and wellness. Work experiences might include successfully developing, evaluating and implementing a workplace health and wellness initiative; functioning as a member of a health and promotion team; working at a public health organization in knowledge translation; working in insurance companies; working with workplace insurance claims; and health promotion within a long-term care facility.
