Additional information regarding completion of coursework and
experience requirements may be obtained through the Accounting
Programs Liaison, Professor Susan Van Weelden.
Law
Prospective law school applicants should complete a general or
honours major in an arts program and should consider taking courses
in areas such as English, History, Philosophy, Political Science,
Sociology and Psychology, all of which will be good preparation for
the study of law. Since admission to law schools is very competitive,
students should also consider completing a program which will
prepare them for careers in other fields.

Medicine and Dentistry
Students planning to apply to a dental or medical school usually
take a concentration in biology and chemistry. This can be done by
completing a major in Biology or a General Science group major.
A four-year program with a major in Biology is recommended as the
best preparation for medical study.
Nursing
Redeemer University College students are eligible to apply to
compressed or accelerated nursing programs provided they meet the
criteria set by the respective schools. Students interested in this option
should directly contact the appropriate nursing school(s) for more
information and consult with the Registrar’s Office at Redeemer.
Students interested in nursing programs at one of Redeemer’s sister
Christian institutions—Calvin College, Trinity Christian College, or
Trinity Western University— should refer to the appropriate calendars.
Pre-Seminary Preparation
Pre-Seminary preparation is designed for students who wish to pursue
further studies to prepare them for ordained ministry or for a vocation
in church education. This preparation provides students with a good
grounding in the humanities, social sciences, the Greek language
and oral communication, enabling them to meet the admission
requirements for the M.Div. program at most seminaries. Because
admission requirements vary, students intending to enter a seminary
are advised to consult the calendar/catalogue of the intended seminary
for its specific admission requirements.
Requirements outlined below are patterned to meet admission
requirements for the M.Div. program at most seminaries.
