Niagara College’s Pre-Health Sciences programs are the preferred preparatory programs for admission to postsecondary health programs at Niagara College.
For competitive health programs (the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available seats), selection will be based on your academic average for all required courses at the time of ranking and selection. Your academic average can be based on a combination of high school and postsecondary courses.
Additional recognition will be applied to your ranking during the evaluation process. This offer will be conditional upon you completing all graduation requirements of your Pre-Health Sciences Pathway program one (1) month before the start of classes.
Full-time Pre-Health Science students who achieve a GPA of 75 or better for at least one semester will receive an additional 10 percent in their admission assessment when applying to any health-related postsecondary diploma program at Niagara College. Applicants awarded the additional 10 percent must successfully complete the two-semester program, and be granted the respective certificate, with a minimum GPA of 75 or their admissibility for the program will be re-evaluated without the additional 10 percent; the offer of admission may be revoked if the applicant is no longer competitive.
