Program details
Overview
Burman University's Wellness program leads to a Bachelor of Science, available as a three-year or four-year degree with a Wellness concentration, alongside a four-year Pre-Allied-Health Lifestyle Medicine and Flourishing track. It pairs applied skills training with academic coursework aimed at whole-person health and routes into allied-health careers. The four-year program includes a 240-hour practicum that gives students direct work experience. The Lifestyle Medicine and Flourishing track builds study of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, chemistry, and religious studies around six evidence-based pillars: a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoiding risky substances, and positive social connections. The program is delivered on Burman's Lacombe, Alberta campus, with access to the university's PE Centre for coursework. It suits students aiming at graduate professional programs such as physical therapy, entry-level allied-health careers, health education, or approaches to wellness grounded in lifestyle medicine.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Wellness follows Burman University's general undergraduate admission requirements, since its own admissions page defers to the institution-wide standard: completion of high school with English 30-1 (or equivalent) at a minimum of 60%, four further grade 12 courses of which three must be academic, and an overall average of 60% with no individual grade below 55%. Burman's program-specific requirements page adds three required courses for Wellness: Math 30-1, Chemistry 30, and Biology 30. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Burman's English proficiency standard: IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (560 paper-based), CAEL 70, PTE Academic 58, or Duolingo English Test 110; English 30-1 at 60% or one year of full-time study at an English-medium institution also satisfies it. No portfolio, interview, or work-experience requirement is stated for this program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Burman University does not publish a fixed application-closing date for domestic applicants; admission is described as non-competitive and there is no deadline to accept an offer, so in practice domestic admission runs on a rolling basis. The one concrete date found applies to international applicants: for Fall intake, students other than those from the USA must have documents submitted and financial clearance arranged by 8 May, though this figure was published for the Fall 2026 intake and Burman has not yet posted an equivalent date for Fall 2027. No named application service is used; applicants apply directly to Burman (Albertans via ApplyAlberta, others via Burman's own form). No programme-specific deadlines were found for Education, Music, or other majors beyond this general international documents deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
