Program Overview

This program offers students interested in pursuing a graduate or professional degree in the health sciences the opportunity to strengthen their scientific background or use it as a record enhancer, boost their CV, or earn prerequisite course credits. The biggest advantage to completing the program is that it makes a student a competitive applicant for any health professions program to which they apply.

Students in the certificate program will receive an introduction to patient care and have the opportunity to observe within the University’s clinical facilities, along with career guidance to assist them in achieving their ultimate professional goals. Eligible students accepted into the Post-baccalaureate program who successfully complete the certificate, submit a complete application, and meet the program prerequisite requirements will be guaranteed an interview to a Salus program of their choice.*
