Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Health & Society (Honours)

The Health & Society (HESO) Program at York provides students with a toolkit for understanding health and illness, both as lived realities and as reflections of larger social, cultural and political processes, on a scale ranging from the interpersonal to the international. 

The program values the kind of practical knowledge gained from experiential learning and seeks to combine this with the development of rigorous critical analysis. 

Taken together, the courses that comprise a HESO degree give students a truly comprehensive understanding of health.

The dedicated faculty brings diverse perspectives by applying an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from fields like sociology, political science, economics, cultural anthropology and social history. 

Hands-on experiences

  • Benefit from guest speakers and practitioners from government and advocacy organizations in the classroom, as well as Indigenous healers.
  • Engage in group work, case studies, policy analysis, community-based interviews and workplace research, and course projects in health and healing that involve visual art, drama and literature.
  • Take field trips to explore relevant Toronto locations, and enjoy virtual field trips with global health practitioners from UN agencies and international NGOs.
