2015-2016 Undergraduate Calendar

The Honours BSc in Medical Sciences prepares students for careers in health professions with a bio-science perspective. This pre-health professional degree allows students to meet the requirements of postgraduate programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, chiropractic health, and the allied health professions.

Students planning to pursue post-graduate education in health or medical fields may consider taking credits in the following areas: Biochemistry, Calculus, English Language and Literature, Organic Chemistry, Philosophy, and Physics. Early during undergraduate studies, students should research prerequisites and admission requirements at the schools to which they plan to apply.
