Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the accelerated Behavioural Science Technician program requires completion of a three- or four-year Bachelor of Arts degree. For English-language proficiency, an applicant with international transcripts who does not submit an English proficiency test result must instead sit the George Brown Polytechnic English assessment at the college level; the program page states no specific IELTS, TOEFL or other test score of its own, and refers international applicants to George Brown's general English Proficiency and International Admissions pages. Before starting field or clinical placement, accepted students must complete the program's clinical pre-placement health requirements (TDAP, MMR, Varicella and Hepatitis B records, a two-step TB skin test) and hold a clear Vulnerable Sector Check, renewed annually.
