Program details
Overview
This programme combines 16 months of Horizon's Christian Studies curriculum with a two- or three-year Saskatchewan Polytechnic diploma in a biotechnology-related field, so graduates earn both a B.A. from Horizon and a Polytechnic diploma. Students choose a specialization such as BioScience Technology, Medical Radiologic Technology, Pharmacy Technology, or Veterinary Technology; total length depends on the diploma chosen. The Horizon segment covers biblical studies, theology, Christian formation, and leadership training delivered through on-campus and distance formats, including online video, modules, and directed study, while the Polytechnic segment provides technical and laboratory training toward a recognized credential. The pathway suits students seeking a science or health-technology qualification alongside a foundation in Christian studies, rather than a longer stand-alone bachelor's degree. As with Horizon's other accelerated Plus+ pathways, the programme is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents and is not open to international applicants.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page carries no admission section of its own and defers to Horizon's general college admission requirements. Applicants need Grade 12 standing or equivalent with a minimum overall average of 65%, including a minimum of 65% in English 30; mature applicants aged 21 or older who fall short may be considered individually on a case-by-case basis. The college also requires a Christian conversion experience, a consistent Christian life for at least one year before enrolment, and an approved Christian character. Non-native English speakers must meet the language requirement: TOEFL iBT 86 overall with 19 minimum per section, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6 minimum per band, CAEL 70 overall with 60 minimum per component, or CanTEST 4.5 overall. Applicants also submit official transcripts, a pastoral reference and a character reference, and pay a $50 non-refundable application fee. The programme page states its Plus+ pathway is not available to international students, who must hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency to take that route.
