WELCOME
Dear Students,
Welcome to the Global Health Program! This unique and innovative program has two options: a
Specialized Honours Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, and an Honours Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science degree.
Both options in the Global Health Program (Specialized Honours BA/BSc, and Honours BA/BSc)
comprise 120 credits. An interdisciplinary program, it draws on curriculum from across the four units in the
Faculty of Health (School of Health Policy & Management, School of Kinesiology & Health Science,
School of Nursing, and Department of Psychology), the Faculty of Environmental Studies, and other
Faculties across the university. Two basic concepts of the program are health equity and health
promotion, in which health is viewed from an ecological and social determinants perspective. Courses
provide a strong foundation for students to become agents of change through critical engagement with
pertinent issues and current world affairs. The program emphasizes innovative teaching-learning
approaches including blended (classroom and online) learning and experiential learning, where students
are introduced to real-world health issues and have opportunities to address relevant topics in practice
and research. Graduates will be able to apply knowledge and skills from a global perspective in order to
address complex issues of human health and well-being in the rapidly changing and yet increasingly
interconnected global village.
In the Specialized Honours program, students in both streams (BA and BSc) take the same core courses
totaling 60 credits, plus at least 21 credits in an area of concentration shaped to their individual career
interests. The specialization areas are: global health promotion and disease prevention; global health
policy, systems and management; global e-health; and global health and the environment. In the final
year of the program, you will take an Integrated Global Health Practicum course, which you can opt to do
in an international placement.
In the Honours program, students in both streams (BA and BSc) take core courses in Global Health
totaling 48 credits. These core courses are the same as in the Specialized Honours program except that
the Integrated Global Health Practicum course and the Global Health Research Capstone course are
excluded. The Honours program provides students with the flexibility to combine their studies in Global
Health with another Major or Minor program.
The professors who teach in this program are highly experienced, with significant global health expertise.
Many have research programs focused on health improvement in Canada and abroad. Please feel free to
approach any one of them should you wish to discuss anything. Also, all students are encouraged to
meet with the Program Coordinator on a yearly basis to go over course selection and any other concerns
or questions you may have.

The Global Health Program: An Overview
Global health challenges, including chronic and infectious disease, do not recognize borders. The health
of the world's population is intertwined with broader issues, including wealth disparity, environmental
degradation, government policy and human rights.
York's Global Health degree (BA and BSc), in the Faculty of Health, examines these and many other
issues with a focus on preparing the next generation of health leaders with the knowledge and skills to
improve health for people worldwide by helping to create conditions that allow for greater health equity.
This undergraduate degree program, the first of its kind in Canada, aims to produce agents of change
who will fulfill leadership and advocacy positions in education, research, health systems, and business in
both the private and public sectors locally, nationally and internationally.
The Global Health Program offers both a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree,
as follows. Students in each program option will benefit from the flexibility of selected courses offered in
class on campus or in a blended (online and in-class) format:
The Specialized Honours degree options combine core, foundational courses that all students take
including (among others) Determinants of Health, Chronic Diseases and Care, Communicable Diseases
and Care, Global Health Research Methods & Measurement, Health and Human Rights, Global Health
Policy: Power and Politics, Healthcare Planning, and Global Health Governance and Leadership.
In addition to core courses, students in the Specialized Honours program take a minimum of 21 credits in
electives from one of four areas of concentration shaped to their individual career interests. The
concentrations are health promotion and disease prevention; global health policy, systems and
management; global e-health; and global health and the environment. In their final term, students take a
250-hour Integrated Global Health Practicum course, working in the field with academic institutions and
NGOs locally, in Canada, or internationally. This is followed by a 2-week intensive research capstone
course.
The BSc degree option also includes courses in the physical and life sciences, while the BA option
includes courses in the social sciences and humanities.
The Honours BA and BSc degree options require a minimum of 48 credits from core, foundational
courses including (among others) Determinants of Health, Chronic Diseases and Care, Communicable
Diseases and Care, Global Health Research Methods& Measurement, Health and Human Rights, Global
Health Policy: Power and Politics, Healthcare Planning, and Global Health Governance and Leadership.
In addition to core courses in the major, students take elective courses shaped to their individual
interests, which may include courses from other disciplines. Both Honours BA and BSc degree options
will allow students who so choose to take a double major or pursue a minor in another program.
The BSc degree option also includes courses in the physical and life sciences, while the BA option
includes courses in the social sciences and humanities.
4
3. BA/BSc in Global Health (90 credits)
Students in the BA/BSc in Global Health (90 credits) complete at least 36 (but not more than 42 credits) in
the major. The courses leading to this degree are the same Global Health core courses offered in the
Specialized Honours and Honours BA/BSc excluding the Integrated Global Health Practicum course and
the Global Health Research Capstone course. Current Global Health students in the Honours programs
and who meet the 90 credit degree requirements may request to graduate a year earlier with the BA/BSc
90 credit degree.
The Honours BA and BSc degree options allow students who so choose to take a double major
or pursue a minor in another program.
The Specialized Honours BA/BSc Degrees may not be combined with double majors or minors.

Plagiarism and Cheating are serious offences and are dealt with strictly in the Global Health Program.
Plagiarism is the presentation of work as one's own, which originates from some other unacknowledged
source. In examinations, term papers and other graded assignments, verbatim or almost verbatim
presentation of someone else's work without attribution constitutes plagiarism. This is deemed to include
the student's own words, as if it were her or his own, without acknowledgement.
Cheating is defined as
the unauthorized giving or receiving or utilizing, or attempt at giving or obtaining or utilizing, of
information or assistance during an examination. (References to examinations also include tests)
the unauthorized obtaining or conveying, or attempt at obtaining or conveying, of examination
questions. giving or receiving assistance on an essay or assignment, which goes beyond that

examination, or knowingly availing oneself of the results of impersonation.
