Applicants must also hold a minimum grade of C, or an approved equivalent, in each of the prerequisite courses BIOL 1103 or BIOL 1109, BIOL 1203 or BIOL 1209, SPSC 1151, SPSC 1164, SPSC 1195, SPSC 2205 and SPSC 2275.

Application Details
Start Date:Douglas runs three fifteen-week semesters a year: Fall from September to December, Winter from January to April and Summer from May to August. The programme page's Offered field lists Fall (September), but its domestic application block also shows an open Winter 2027 round. The Fall 2026 semester began on 8 September 2026 and Winter 2027 classes begin on 4 January 2027.
Application Deadline:Douglas publishes college-wide application windows rather than a single date for every programme, and the domestic and international timetables are different. DOMESTIC APPLICANTS apply on EducationPlannerBC. Applications for a semester open about eleven months ahead, at 9:00 a.m. on the first business day of the opening month: 1 October for the following Fall. The programme page does not label this open- or limited-enrolment, so check on EducationPlannerBC whether the intake you want is still accepting applications before you rely on the general open-enrolment closing date. This programme adds its own dated step: Fall 2026 domestic applications are closed and Winter 2027 domestic applications are open, even though the programme page's Offered field lists Fall only — so check the programme page for the round currently taking applications. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS: this programme page carries no international application block, so confirm with Douglas International Admissions that the programme is open to you before applying. The college-wide international dates are 30 September 2026 for Winter (January) 2027 and 31 January 2027 for Summer (May) 2027; the Fall (September) 2026 intake closed on 31 May 2026. Read from the programme page and the college deadline pages on 6 September 2026; Douglas had not yet published Summer 2027 domestic closing dates.
