Allied Health Sciences - Bridge
Overview
Expand on your previous Ontario diploma and experience in the health field to earn three marketable credentials instead of one. Expand your previous education and experience, in a flexible and research-intensive environment. This program builds on the education foundation obtained from your diploma, and develops an in-depth knowledge of health sciences and the theory base required for further studies, or careers in a range of health disciplines.
Additionally, you may choose to structure your elective courses to study in other program areas such as public health or adult education.
This program is available entirely online, making it easier to create academic schedules to accommodate full-time employment.
I chose Ontario Tech University because I was not only impressed with the programs, but I also enjoyed the environment as a whole. Throughout my degree, I still enjoyed utilizing the physical spaces on campus by walking on the track with my friends and taking yoga classes outside in the summer.
