Undergraduate Programs

In this cross-disciplinary public health program—a collaboration between the Connell School and BC's Schiller Institute—you will gain an interdisciplinary understanding of social factors, economics, race, the environment, history and politics which shape patterns of health and disease and gain the skills you will need to confront curious health challenges such as Covid-19, climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.
