Successful completion of the Pre-Health Science certificate program may give students exemptions in certain health sciences courses depending upon grade level achieved.

The Pre-Health Science program provides a direct path to all programs at the College of Integrative Medical Sciences. All programs will reserve a significant number of seats per intake for the Pre-Health Science graduates with the highest GPAs (minimum 3.0).
