Pre-Professional Programs (Pre-Professional Programs (Non-Specific)

Students intending to enter professional programs at other Universities can take their pre-professional programs in the Faculty of Science or Arts.  Professional Programs are very seldom direct entry, and will often require two or more years of undergraduate study prior to admission. 

Each Professional program is slightly different and students are encouraged to contact the admissions department of the program they are interested in to confirm and develop an adequate understanding of the application requirements. Students are welcome to meet with the Academic Program Advisor in Science or Arts to discuss other programs and get assistance with choosing courses that will meet pre-requisite requirements for their Professional program of interest.

All courses taken in these pre-professional programs are credit courses, and as such, they may be applied to any of the degrees offered by the University. Details can be found in the University of Regina Undergraduate Calendar.

Students interested in Professional programs are encouraged to consider that due to the competitive nature of these programs, very few applicants are granted admission on their first attempt.  In fact, many students complete a Bachelor’s degree prior to being accepted to many of these programs. As such, students are encouraged to consider a preparatory degree program that will aid in their elective course selection and contribute to the completion of a degree program while they are working towards admission to their program of choice. 

For example, a student interested in Medicine may wish to declare Biology as their preparatory degree program, so that they are working towards a greater understanding of biological systems while they continue to apply for admission to Medical School.

Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 percent or more).

Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.
