Well organized courses. Option of thesis project

I really liked the program as it prepared me well for applying to various master programs or professional schools. Secondly, it allows numerous opportunities to work with faculty members on research projects e.g UROP, and Honours projects. Additionally, we are provided with the option of adding a minor from another faculty or specialize in something from our faculty e.g. public health, health technologies, or bioscience. However, I took off one star as the university did not run a Co-Op program for this degree.
