BSc (Medical Sciences)
The Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) degree is a 120 credit hour program, typically completed in 4 years. It will provide an educational experience that offers a broad, interdisciplinary background in all relevant subjects in biomedical sciences. The degree also meets the general degree requirements for the Faculty of Science. This program may fulfill the Dalhousie Faculty of Graduate Studies requirements for graduate school, but may not satisfy department-specific or other school-specific graduate school entry requirements.
Requirements
In addition to the courses listed below, students must ensure that they satisfy the requirements outlined in the "Degree Requirements" section for the College of Arts and Science. For the required Writing class, students can choose from the list of approved writing classes in the Academic Calendar. Before selecting a writing course, students are encouraged to consult the advising sheet available on the Medical Sciences program website, as some professional schools require an ENGL course as a prerequisite for entry.
