Greetings from the faculty and staff of the Niagara College
Pre-Health Sciences (PHS) - University Program!
NiagaraCollege.ca/phsu
I would like to offer some information about our PHS - University program. It is our hope that
your upcoming academic year provides you with a solid foundation to help you achieve your career goals.
Our PHS - University program will provide you with the opportunity to gain acceptance into
various health-related programs taught at the university level including, but not limited to:
 Nursing (Collaborative R.N. Program)
 Biological Sciences
 Chemistry
 Neuroscience
 Math
 Physics
Taking the PHS - University program does NOT mean that you will be automatically guaranteed
entry into a university. Also please note that some university programs may require additional
courses, certificates, or licenses in addition to their standard admission requirements. We strongly
encourage you to contact the Admissions department of your future university of interest to ensure such
requirements will be met upon graduation.
Courses in this program are taught at an advanced level, and you will be asked to use math skills in
many of your science classes. Resources and extra assistance with English, Science, and Math courses
are available through weekly tutorials and drop-in sessions with faculty. Take full advantage of these
resources to help you with assignments and test preparation.
Some students who choose the PHS – University program seek entry to college programs, such as
Paramedic or Practical Nursing (P.N.). Students are encouraged to check with the Admissions Office of
the college you seek to enter to confirm their practice and policy. The PHS – University option is NOT
given extra consideration for entry to programs at Niagara College.
Should you have any questions regarding our program or your career goals, there are two
Academic Advisors available to help you:
