BHSc/BBA
The combined Bachelor of Health Science - Public Health/Bachelor of Business Administration (BHSc/BBA) degree program is a rarity in Canada that blends public health and management, and the Dhillon School of Business is the only one to offer this degree at an undergraduate level. The program combines public health theory and practice with organizational behaviour, information technology, accounting, marketing, management policy and human resources management.
Upon graduation, you will have the practical managerial skills and the theoretical public health knowledge needed for employment in a wide range of non-clinical public health roles in a variety of settings and agencies.
Please note this combined degree is only offered on the Lethbridge campus.
