Admission Requirements

Degree Requirements: Applicants must have obtained a 4-year undergraduate degree (science background preferred) from an accredited University. A minimum academic average of 80% during the final two years of the undergraduate program is required. Students with a lower average may also be considered by the selection committee on an individual basis. Applicants with an MSc degree in one of the named disciplines will also be considered, as well applicants with MD, DDS or MBBS degrees.

Meeting the minimum requirement does not guarantee acceptance to the program.

Recommended Courses: Undergraduate courses in English (with a significant essay requirement), human anatomy, histology, microbiology and physiology are strongly recommended. If human physiology has not been taken prior to admission, the student will be required to take Physiology 2130 offered through the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology within their first year of study. Other suggested undergraduate courses include biochemistry, biology/biological sciences, chemistry, mathematics/calculus, organic chemistry and physics.
