Hey guys,

I was just wondering how many first year courses/credits health science students are allowed to take throughout their undergraduate degree? I heard the number varies between faculties.

Thanks!

After first year, you can take up to 2 half year courses (6 credits) of first year courses every year in the BHSc program. But honestly, upper year health sci courses are more enjoyable imo than first year courses, so I never really had a chance to take that many.

The course calendar says that in most faculties you can take 42 units of year 1 courses in a 3-year program and 48 units in a 4-year program. A quick search of the health sci website tells me that this applies to health sci as well.

Thank you! Do you happen to have the link for the page on the health sci website that you were taking about? I looked through the site earlier today but couldn't find what I was looking for.
