previously completed a first year of university studies at an Association of Universities and

Minor in Health Sciences
Admission to the Minor is open to students in any discipline if their faculty has a provision for a
Minor and they have successfully completed 60 ch of course work and earned an average
grade of C or better in all courses. Application to the Minor is normally made in the second

consultation with the Health Sciences Administrator for Science, Applied Science &
Engineering, and this should normally be done at the same time as they declare a Major.
