The bachelor of arts in health sciences incorporates multi-disciplinary approaches to the study of health, illness and disease in human communities. The programs focus on the determinants of health, health promotion and disease prevention, health care systems, health policy and health technology. It features work that joins the biological, social, behavioral and policy sciences.
This bachelor of arts degree requires 120 units including at least 45 in the upper division. The University's writing, quantitative, and breadth requirements (WQB) must also be met (see “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7).

This program incorporates basic science courses (biology, chemistry, molecular biology and statistics) with courses about health and disease from the health sciences core. Building on a solid base of basic biomedical and applied health science, students will receive advanced training in pharmacology, toxicology, pathophysiology and epidemiology, as well as molecular biology and genetics.
Within the BSc program, students choose from three areas of emphasis: general studies; environmental and occupational health; or infectious diseases. Each includes a solid basis in the biomedical sciences.
