Overview
The Honours Bachelor of Science – Osteopathy is a four-year honours baccalaureate degree offered at Sheridan College's Davis Campus in Brampton, and is described as the first program of its kind at a Canadian public postsecondary institution. The curriculum covers the principles and practice of osteopathy, a manual therapy approach used to treat a range of injuries, illnesses and conditions, distinguishing it from related manual therapies such as physiotherapy or chiropractic despite some overlap. Students begin working with patients under supervision in Sheridan's community clinic from year one, continue in a multidisciplinary student clinic alongside peers, and complete three work-integrated learning placements across different clinical settings, accumulating more than 1,000 hours of supervised clinical practice, which meets the World Health Organization's Type 1 standard for osteopathic training. Previous health science education is recommended but not required for admission; applicants who already hold a health science degree may be eligible to start in year two after completing three bridging courses. Graduates have gone on to graduate study in fields such as rehabilitation science and health administration at other institutions. The program suits students seeking a clinically intensive, patient-facing entry point into manual osteopathic practice.
Requirements

Two semesters of postsecondary study covering the same courses at 65% overall is accepted instead, and applicants are ranked on the average of their six highest senior-level credits.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
