Health Sciences is a wide-ranging field which uses knowledge from many disciplines to understand and improve all aspects of human health. At Langara, Health Sciences focuses primarily on public health, a branch of medicine that explores the causes of variation in health within and between human populations, with the goal of developing and delivering effective interventions to reduce health inequity and inequality locally, nationally and internationally. The Health Sciences programs provide an excellent two-year foundation for entry-level work in health agencies, or completion of a four year degree in health sciences and other health-related fields at destination institutions. The four Langara College programs in Health Sciences offer an interdisciplinary approach to the study of health, illness, and disease in human communities. Health is one of the largest employment sectors in the country, and is anticipated to grow at a faster than average rate. Employment options are diverse, and extend far beyond serving as doctors or nurses. Upon successful completion, students of Health Sciences programs will have gained a strong basic background in this rapidly changing field.
