Bachelor of One Health (BOH)

Welcome to the Bachelor of One Health degree program! We are excited to welcome you to the University of Guelph. All first-year BOH students will be invited to attend a Degree Program Event in early September. We look forward to meeting you then.

You will only be selecting courses for the Fall 2024 semester (Semester 1) at this time.

As a BOH student, you will declare one of four Areas of Emphasis by the end of your first year. The Areas of Emphasis are:

  1. Culture, Society and Health (CSH)
  2. Disease, Complexity and Health (DCH)
  3. Environment, Food and Health (EFH)
  4. Policy, Economics and Health (PEH)

Although you are not required to declare an Area of Emphasis at this point, one of the courses you do select for the Fall semester will help you to explore and gain the necessary pre-requisite courses for the Areas of Emphasis.

If you are unsure which Area of Emphasis you wish to pursue, students can select the DCH or EFH course in the fall semester followed by one of the PEH or CSH courses in the winter semester. This will allow for maximum flexibility and choice following your first year of study. You can find out more about each of the Areas of Emphasis on the Bachelor of One Health website.

 

Picking your courses for Semester 1 (Fall 2024):

As a BOH student, you will select 2.5 credits (five courses) in your first semester. All students, regardless of the Area of Emphasis, should select the following four courses (2.0 credits):

  • ANTH*1120 Biological Anthropology
  • BIOL*1080 Biological Concepts of Health
  • BIOL*1090 Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology

If you intend to pursue the PEH or CSH Area of Emphasis, select one of:

  • ECON*1050 Introductory Microeconomics
    OR
    PSYC*1000 Introduction to Psychology
