The Minor in Health Sciences is available on a limited basis to students who meet the prerequisite requirements.

Students registered in the School of Health Studies who complete 5.0 first-year courses with an average of at least 70% will be considered for admission into the second year in the Bachelor of Health Sciences Honours Specialization, and those with a minimum average of 65% will be accepted into the second year of the Bachelor of Health Sciences Specialization and Major modules. As this is a limited enrollment program, meeting the minimum requirements for consideration does not guarantee admission.
