FACULTY OF SCIENCE

PRE-MEDICAL AND OTHER PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

In addition to the degree programs, the Faculty of Science offers combinations of course selections for students intending to apply to professional schools such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, alternative medicine, chiropractic, radiation therapy, etc.

All students intending to apply for admission to a professional school are advised to study carefully the requirements of the particular school(s) to which admission is sought because there is some variation, both with respect to choice of subjects and number of years of study required for entrance. Institutions may also change their requirements from time to time. Students may obtain academic advice from the Pre-Health Profession Advisor in the Office of the Dean of Science.

Pre-Teaching Program

Certificate of Qualification: Students who contemplate registering in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor, or a comparable institution, should be aware that Certificates of Qualification are awarded in the Primary-Junior (grades K-6 inclusive), Junior-Intermediate (grades 4-10 inclusive), and Intermediate-Senior (grades 7 to the end of secondary school) areas of concentration by the Ontario College of Teachers.

Those intending to teach at the Junior-Intermediate level must successfully complete a minimum of six courses in a subject taught in secondary schools. The B.Sc. in General Science or Science, Technology, and Society are thirty-credit programs that can provide competence in two teachable subjects. However, an honours degree in a disciplinary major allows the graduate a wider range of career opportunities. A Concurrent B.Sc.(General Science)/B.Ed. Program is also available as well as a concurrent B.Sc./B.Ed./E.C.E. program.

Honours Specialist Qualification: By the proper choice of subjects, students completing certain honours programs with a B average may qualify for admission to courses leading to the Honours Specialist Qualifications at the Faculty of Education at this University, or other Ontario faculties or colleges of education. In order to acquire such qualification, a minimum of two years of successful teaching experience is necessary following the granting of the Ontario Certificate of Qualification. Advising is available at the Faculty of Education.
