Health Information Science is the study of the nature of information and its processing, application and impact within a health care system. Health Information Science integrates organizational studies, computing and communications technologies, and information systems within the formal study of health care systems.

The School of Health Information Science offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Health Information Science, a four-year Co-operative Education program. Students have the option of choosing either part-time or full-time studies.

The program is normally full-time but under special circumstances, with special permission of the director, part-time entry may be possible. Typically, to be considered for the part-time option an applicant will have a minimum of one year experience working in a related field. This part-time option is not available through the Combined Major in Computer Science and Health Information Science.

Students are required to apply for either the full-time program or the part-time option. Students in the full-time program will not normally be allowed to move to the part-time option. Students in the part-time option will be required to be registered for courses or a work term in every term.

The admission criteria for the part-time option will be the same as listed below. Students who have failed a work term or do not maintain a GPA of 4.0 or better in each academic term, both overall and in Health Information Science courses, will normally be required to withdraw from the School for at least one calendar year.
