Program details

Overview

This certificate serves as a pathway into certificate and diploma programs in health sciences, with coursework centred on the fundamentals of math, science and communication. Students build knowledge and skills across biology, chemistry, physics, math and English while exploring career options within the health field.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or mature-student status, including Grade 12 English at the C, U or equivalent level. Mohawk states that this pathway cannot be used as a route to the Mohawk/McMaster BScN program or the Mohawk/McMaster Medical Radiation Sciences Collaborative degree, and it offers grade-12-equivalency upgrading courses plus alternative options for mature applicants who lack the prerequisite. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through one of: successful completion of the GAS-English for Academic Purposes (478) program, a TOEFL score of 550 paper-based or 80 internet-based, an IELTS Academic overall score of 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or a Duolingo English Test score of 105-110 with no section below 100.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges: for a September start Mohawk's equal-consideration date is 1 February (1 February 2027 for the next fall intake), and for a January start it is 1 June; after either date, files are considered first-come, first-served while seats remain, with permanent residents of Ontario prioritized, then other Canadian residents, then international applicants. International applicants apply via OCAS's International Application Service on a per-intake deadline rather than one annual date: for January 2027 entry, applications opened February 2026 and the submission deadline is 1 November 2026; Mohawk had not yet published a deadline for the September 2027 intake as of this check. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
