Specific requirements for dental schools may also include biology, chemistry, math, English, and physics.

PRE-ENGINEERING AND TRANSFER PROGRAM

Our Faculty of Natural and Applied Science offers a one or two-year pre-engineering program. These transferable courses combine scientific and mathematic concepts that challenge you to think critically and find practical solutions. With our small class sizes and expert professors, you will be well prepared for admittance into engineering schools.

PRE-MEDICINE

Our Pre-Pharmacy program acts as a well-rounded preparation for pharmaceutical studies. You will take a set of required science courses—like cell biology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry—needed for entry into the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia.

PRE-VETERINARY

The pre-veterinary program helps to fulfill required coursework for admission into competitive schools, such as the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatchewan and other veterinary schools in Canada, the United States, and abroad. This program is typically four years in length. As a pre-veterinary student, you will take a variety of courses, including biology, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as English courses and other core courses needed to complete a degree. In addition, you will be advised on how to incorporate extensive hands-on experience working with animals in veterinary clinics and other settings.
