Pre-Health Specialized Studies

The Pre-Health Specialized Studies option will meet your needs if you possess a scientific background but seek to bolster your academic credentials and update your knowledge of more advanced topics in the biomedical sciences.

As a Specialized Studies student you will take a minimum of eight science courses. Your specific schedule will depend on your academic background and timeline to achieve optimal preparation for health professional school. This program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis, with most students taking two to four courses per term, usually in biology or neuroscience. 

You are expected to have worked, volunteered or shadowed in a clinical setting or in another service-related capacity before you apply, and to continue to work, volunteer, or shadow during your studies in the Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Health Program.
