2009-2010 Undergraduate Calendar

The BA(Pass) in Community Health Sciences focuses on community health and wellness emphasizing health promotion and assessment as well as program development and evaluation. This foundational degree provides a broad overview of societal trends and systems related to health issues and is a stepping stone for careers in health related areas.

Brock/Colleges Articulation Agreements

Co-ordinated between the Department of Community Health Sciences and a related department at another post-secondary institution, articulation agreements offer students an opportunity to combine practical experience with theoretical knowledge, with courses taken at both Brock University and an Ontario college. Upon successful completion of both programs, students receive a BA (Pass) Community Health and a diploma from the corresponding college. Gaining both a degree and diploma would typically involve attending college after earning a university degree, or vice versa, however, the Brock articulation agreements combine practical and theoretical learning in a single integrated package that may be completed in four years.

Dental Hygiene

Students participating in this articulation agreement earn a diploma in Dental Hygiene from Niagara College and a BA (Pass) in Community Health from Brock University.

Students admitted to Community Health at Brock University for first year admission may apply during the first year of study; applications are due to the Department of Community Health Sciences on February 15 during the first year at Brock and can be found with the Undergraduate Program Co-ordinator. Students complete years two and three at Niagara College and return for year four at Brock University.

Studies at both institutions are directed to help learners gain employment not only as a Dental Hygienist, but also in the field of Health Promotion and Education, and to prepare for many possible career choices in the dental and health-related fields.

Pharmacy Technician

The Pharmacy Technician articulation agreement allows student to receive a Bachelor of Arts (Pass) degree in Community Health at Brock University and a Pharmacy Technician diploma at Lambton College. Years one and four are completed at Brock University, with students attending Lambton College for years two and three. Applications are due to the Department of Community Health Sciences on February 15 during the first year of study at Brock and can be found with the Undergraduate Program Co-ordinator.

Studies at both institutions are directed to help learners gain employment not only as a Pharmacy Technician, but also in the field of Health Promotion and Education, and to prepare for many possible career choices in health-related fields.
