Program details
Overview
This joint program is delivered by the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and Centennial College's School of Community and Health Studies, combining university-level life science study with hands-on paramedic training. Over a four-year sequence, students complete academic coursework at UTSC alongside two years of paramedic-specific training at Centennial's Morningside Campus, where they work through emergency, trauma, medical, and psychological scenarios in dedicated lab facilities. The curriculum emphasizes the critical thinking, research, and laboratory skills needed for emergency medical work, alongside the paramedic program's practical procedures and patient-care techniques. On completion, students receive an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto together with an Ontario College Diploma in Paramedic from Centennial College, and are prepared to sit the Ontario Ministry of Health's Advanced Emergency Medical Care Attendant (AEMCA) exam required for certification as a primary care paramedic. The program suits students who want to combine a university science degree with a recognized paramedic credential in a single course of study, aiming for careers in emergency medical services and related fields calling for both academic grounding and hands-on clinical competency.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to this joint Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Paramedicine program is direct entry from high school only; applicants with any postsecondary study are not eligible. Required are an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six Grade 12 U or M courses, or an equivalent diploma from another Canadian province, including English, one of Advanced Functions, Calculus and Vectors, or Data Management, and Biology, with Chemistry recommended. The program states a minimum of 70% in Grade 12 English and references a competitive overall average in the low 80s. Applicants must be a Canadian citizen, Indigenous person, permanent resident, or protected person, and must apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre and complete UTSC's own online Supplementary Application Form, which may lead to an interview. The pages state only that proof of English language proficiency may be required of applicants whose first language is not English, without publishing a specific test or score. Applicants who already hold a university degree are directed instead to Centennial's own two-year Paramedic diploma.
