DescriptionOur Life Sciences programs provide students with the opportunity to study topics in human health, aging and disease. Our curriculum is organized under the categories of knowledge translation, communication, experiential learning and research skills. A unique aspect to our programs involves the implementation of community-based projects and peer mentoring experiential opportunities that are tied to in-course experiences.
