The Faculty of Science, Health, and Human Services has been organized to promote
stronger links between programs having common educational issues in the general
health and human services fields, and to foster a closer relationship with the
scientific fields that provide much of the basic knowledge for these areas.
The variety of courses and programs
within the Faculty reflect a balance of academic offerings and competency- based
training. These provide avenues for students to pursue further education at
graduate levels and/or to move directly into the workplace.
Our programs attempt to reflect and
understand the changes that we are undergoing, both as individuals and as a
society. Many of these changes are driven by scientific or technological
advances in the natural, agricultural, or health science fields. Others are a
result of the changing characteristics of our society.
Some of our programs prepare
students to nurture and teach our youth in their most formative years. Others
train them to provide care to our aging citizens, and others take a broader
view, encouraging students to strive to understand the human mind. Cooperative
Education and/or work experience through practicums are offered in some
programs. Students interested in any of the programs in this division are
encouraged to contact the appropriate department head or director or the Dean’s
office.

General Studies
The General Studies category is designed for students wishing to take courses
for their own interest or to help them in choosing a direction of study. As a
General Studies student, you may take arts, science, and/or applied courses.
General Studies is not a true “program”; it has no structured group of courses.
Students can apply later for any of the associate, diploma, or degree options at
UCFV. A General Studies degree is offered at
UCFV. Credit is given for courses recognized by your
chosen option. University-level courses can be transferred to another
institution. For more details, see
