There are educational options for students who require some preparation
training in order to perform at a level that will allow them to succeed
in specialized programs. At Centennial College, these undertakings are
called College and University Preparation programs. Not only do these
programs offer small classes, state-of-the-art science and language
laboratories as well as dedicated, experienced faculty support, but they
also help ESL students brush up on their English. The prep programs are
meant to assist in developing a thorough understanding of the personal,
academic and professional requirements needed for taking diploma and
advanced diploma programs.
One such offering is the Pre Health program,
which helps students to gain access to a range of options within the
School of Community and Health Studies. This School is committed to
delivering innovative teaching through state-of-the-art laboratories
where students receive hands-on experience in a stimulated environment.
As such, students watch theory come with the guidance of
industry-experienced instructors. Among the programs for which Pre
Health prepares students are: Practical Nursing, Massage Therapy,
Transportation and others.
Additionally, students receive the preparation they need if they are:
- Exploring a science program at college toward their future career goal
- Acquiring academic admission credentials needed to enter college-level science programs
- Seeking science courses required for post-secondary programs and have not finished high school or completed science courses
As one of the respected Pre Health programs in Toronto, this offering is
very well rounded. It not only includes health-related courses such as
Computers for Healthcare Professionals (introduces students to word
processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications in a Windows-based
operating system and gain skills related to basic research technique
and APA reference format) and Pre-Anatomy and Physiology (allows
students to develop a strong foundation in anatomical terminologies and
fundamental human physiology through an emphasis on understanding and
applications rather than memorization), but also math, communication and
science courses.
Aside from obtaining a strong theoretical base, students also gain a
practical one as they complete a range of projects and hands-on
activities prior to graduation. For example, in the Computers for
Healthcare Professionals course, students finish a final project for
which they are expected to apply the computer skills, research technique
and data analysis tools to prepare a properly referenced health-care
related research report.
To apply for this Pre-Health science program
interested persons must have completed and Ontario Secondary School
Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature student status (19 years or
older); English Grade 12 C or U, or equivalent or take the Centennial
College English Skills Assessment for Admission; and Mathematics Grade
11 M or U; or 12 C, M or U, or equivalent or take a Centennial College
Math Skills Assessment for Admission.
