GENERAL INFORMATION ON PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
Pre-professional programs are taken through the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Arts and to a limited extent the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina.
Before registering at the University of Regina, students intending to enter any of these professional programs are advised to acquaint themselves thoroughly with the requirements and courses of the professional institutions that they intend to enter. Copies of the calendars are usually available from the Office of the Registrar, University of Regina, and further information may be obtained by contacting the Faculty of Arts Records Office, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of the Science or the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies as indicated below.
In the case of all professional and pre-professional programs, it should be understood that students with complete qualifications for admission may be refused admission by a faculty or college because of limited intake. Applications for these programs should be made well in advance of the date of intended enrolment.
Students are reminded that registration in pre-professional courses of study does NOT guarantee admission to the targeted professional program. Students are strongly advised to select courses that will lead to a baccalaureate degree if admission to the professional program is not obtained.
Students intending to apply to limited enrolment professional programs should keep in mind:
1. students are often not accepted on their first application to the professional college, faculty or school;
2. many professional programs look for much more than the minimum requirements;
3. many professional programs look for students who have already completed a degree;
4. many professional programs have evaluation criteria in addition to academic performance (e.g., interviews, entrance examinations).
For all of these reasons, students should target their pre-professional program of study toward the completion of an alternative degree program.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM OFFERINGS
Details of the pre-professional programs follow. Additional information is available from the Faculties of Arts, Kinesiology and Health Studies or Science.
All students entering the Baccalauréat en Éducation will be required to complete a French competency test.

PRE-LAW (UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN AND ELSEWHERE)
Admission requirements are identical to those of the Faculty of Arts.
For admission to the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan, students must normally have completed a university degree. In some instances, students will be considered for admission after completing two years of academic work beyond senior matriculation, including at least 12 credit hours in the humanities and social sciences. The College of Law does not require specific courses or majors, but looks for programs which indicate a strong command of written and spoken English and a capacity for critical thinking.
Students wishing to enter the College of Law, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan must write the Law School Admission Test. Applications to write the test must be submitted well in advance of the test dates. Students should consult the Examination Clerk in the Registrar's Office, University of Regina, regarding application and deadline dates.
Admission to the College of Law is decided on a competitive basis taking into account the academic record, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) score, and any special circumstances. In assessing the academic record of an applicant, greater weight will be given to marks received during complete and consecutive academic sessions (ie, to students who have pursued a full-time course of study with a full load of courses). Slight preference is given to students who a) are Saskatchewan residents or residents of the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, b) have completed a university degree, and c) have a strong background in programs or courses which have emphasized written expression and an understanding of history or an appreciation of the social, political, and economic problems of society.
Enrolment in the College of Law is limited and the number of applications greatly exceeds the number of places available. Past experience indicates that as a general rule an average of about 78% is required on pre-law studies.
Applications to the College of Law at the University of Saskatchewan must be submitted before February 1 of the year in which admission is sought. Students should carefully check application deadlines for other colleges of law.
The Faculty of Arts normally arranges a meeting every second year, usually in the Winter term, for students who are interested in the College of Law.

Three first year spaces (Saskatchewan residents only) are reserved for persons of Canadian Aboriginal descent. Applicants will require an average of 78% or higher, assessed on their two best 30-credit unit pre-medicine years, and at least 16/24 on the interview. Applicants of Aboriginal descent will compete within this category, not against the entire applicant pool. Applicants should identify themselves on the application for admission.
Further information may be obtained from the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of the Faculty of Science, University of Regina.
PRE-NUTRITION (UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN)
Innovative changes have occurred to the Nutrition program at the University of Saskatchewan. Instead of obtaining a four-year degree in Nutrition, and then competing nationally for a one-year dietetic internship to obtain professional credentials, Nutrition students now take a year of pre-Nutrition classes and then apply to the new four-year BSc (Nutrition). All of the required professional experiences have been included within the degree, and all graduates, on completion of a national exam, qualify for professional registration and membership in the provincial and national association for dietitians/nutritionists (Dietitians of Canada).
Dietitians working in hospitals focus on specialized clinical care of patients (e.g. diabetes, cardiology, eating disorders, nutrition support in intensive care), provide nutrition education, or manage major foodservice operations. In rural health districts, the dietitian is often responsible for all of these components. Dietitians working in public heath usually use the job title "nutritionist". They assess nutritional needs of populations, identify nutritional concerns, develop health promotion strategies and education programs, and provide advisory services to other health professionals and community agencies such as food agencies, the pharmaceutical and food industries, marketing boards, fitness/wellness centres, private practice, research and media. Advanced studies lead to university faculty positions and work with international health agencies.
The structure of the revised program is unique in Canada and involves partnerships with the Regina Health District, Saskatoon Health District, Tribal Councils, and other Health Districts throughout the province. A total of 25 students are admitted including 19 spaces for Saskatchewan residents, 4 spaces for non-resident students (out-of-province or international students), 2 for Aboriginal equity students and 1 space may be considered for admission under special circumstances or compassionate reasons. Beginning in 2001, acceptance is based on post-secondary academic record (60% of admission decision), a critical skills essay (30%) and a personal profile (10%). Students must have a minimum weighted average of 60% to apply.
The pre-Nutrition course requirements at the University of Regina are:
· Biology 100 and 101
· Chemistry 102 and 240
· English 100 and 110 or French 201 and 202
· Psychology 100 plus 3 more credit hours of Psychology or Sociology 100 plus 3 more credit hours of Sociology
· Six credit hours of electives
To be considered for admission for 2002-2003, applicants must have completed 24 credit hours by April 30, 2002 and a total of 30 credit hours by September 1, 2002. Applicants can be deficient in one of the preceding classes except the credit hours in Biology and Chemistry. Application forms are available from the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition Office and the deadline for application is February 1. The non-refundable application fee is $75. Notification of acceptance begins in June.
For more information about the program, please write, call or e-mail: Division of Nutrition and Dietetics, College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan, 110 Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5C9, phone: (306-966-5824), fax: (306-966-6377), e-mail: morleys@admin.usask.ca .

(Note: full academic year = minimum of 30 academic credit hours completed between September and April). The grade point average will be used to rank applicants. Up to 90 interviews will be offered to individuals who meet admission requirements and Saskatchewan residency requirements of the University of Saskatchewan.
Each year, two positions for admission to the School of Physical Therapy are designated for applicants of Aboriginal ancestry who meet admission requirements. Students wishing to be considered in this category should indicate this choice on the application for admission. Self identification of Aboriginal ancestry does not exclude applicants from being considered for one of the designated places for applicants of Aboriginal ancestry. Whenever possible, the team that interviews individuals applying for one of the designated places will include a member of Aboriginal ancestry.
The Admissions Committee may consider up to two special case entrants per year for individuals unable to complete 30 credit hours in a normal academic year. An example would be a parent whose family responsibilities prevent attendance at university full-time. Such applicants must still meet all other academic requirements. Applicants seeking information about this category should contact the Admissions Secretary.
Application forms and further information on the admission process and procedures can be obtained from the Admissions Secretary, School of Physical Therapy, University of Saskatchewan, 1121 College Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7N 0W3 (306-966-6579) or from the Faculty of Science General Office, University of Regina. Completed applications, together with the additional required documents described in the application form, must be received by the Admissions Secretary by January 15th of the year in which admission is desired.

PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE (UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN)
The Western College of Veterinary Medicine is located on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and provides education in veterinary medicine for the four western provinces. Admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine requires a minimum of two full years (60 credit hours) of university study. At the University of Regina the required courses are:
1. Biochemistry 220 and 320
2. Biology 100, 101, 205 and 220
3. Chemistry 102, 240 and either 210 or 230
4. English 100 and 110
5. Mathematics 105 or 110 and either Mathematics 111 or Statistics 151
6. Physics 109 and 119 or Physics 111 and 112
7. Five elective courses
Since competition for admission to the College is very keen, students interested in veterinary medicine should pursue a degree program in the Faculty of Science and should choose the elective courses to fit such a program. Most students admitted to the College have more than the minimum two years of pre-veterinary medicine. Students are advised to meet Faculty of Science admission requirements and to include Chemistry 30 in their high school program. Biology 30 is strongly recommended.
The Faculty of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine has also approved a policy that requires all applicants to have a minimum cumulative average of 70% to be considered for admission into the veterinary program. All grades are converted to a common scale for comparative purposes and this converted average will be used.
The Western College of Veterinary Medicine has recently, with the approval of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, introduced an Educational Equity Program for Aboriginal students. In this program, a defined number of seats has been allocated for self-identified applicants of Aboriginal descent. These applicants will be ranked among themselves and not against the general applicant pool. Proof of Aboriginal ancestry will be required and must be provided at the time of application. For the purpose of admission, the documents that are accepted as proof of Aboriginal ancestry are listed in the University of Saskatchewan Calendar.
Further information and application forms may be obtained from the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of the Faculty of Science, University of Regina, or from the Admissions Office, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, 52 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7N 5B4 (306-966-7452).
