Professional second-entry programsSecond-entry programs require some years of undergraduate study before you can start. At Western, we offer second-entry undergraduate programs in business, dentistry, law, education and medicine. Read more about these programs on pages 47-53.

The Modular Degree Structure – How does it work?Modules can be combined in the three different types of degrees offered, as shown in the chart. For example, if you are planning to complete a four-year Honors Bachelor Degree, you can do an Honors Specialization in Health Sciences and a Major in Film Studies or a Major in Biochemistry and a Major in Mathematics. There are thousands of possible combinations at Western!

1. An Honors Specialization Module is comprised of 9.0 or more credits and is available only in an Honors Bachelor Degree (4 year).

2. A Specialization Module is comprised of 9.0 or more credits and is available only in the Bachelor Degree (4 year).

3. A Major Module is comprised of 6.0–7.0 credits and is available in all three degree types.

4. A Minor Module is comprised of 4.0–5.0 credits and is available in all three degree types.

You have choices.Explore as much as possible.Arts & Humanities, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Science, Social Science and Media, Information & TechnocultureDuring first year, your courses will be a combination of prerequisites for the program you want and the electives you choose. You can take electives from almost any faculty.

At the end of your first year, choose the program you want to study.

Engineering, Medical Sciences, Music and NursingYou will focus primarily on your field. Though most of your first-year courses will be predetermined, you still have an opportunity to explore within your field throughout the duration of your program and specialize further after your first year.

You have flexibility.Specialize in one area or combine your two passions.Western’s modular degree structure gives you flexibility with your degree. In many cases, you can combine programs from different faculties, schools or departments; or you can focus on a specific subject in greater depth.

A module is a collection of courses (defined by a Faculty or Affiliated University College) in an area of study. The more courses in a module, the higher the level of specialization.

Looking for an academic challenge?Graduate with two degrees at the same time.Concurrent Degrees: Study two major modules at the same time, like Applied Math and Engineering or Kinesiology and Music. Talk with your academic counsellor in first year to explore your options and create a plan.

Combined Degrees: Combine your degree with one of Western’s professional Faculties, like the Ivey Business School, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry or Western Law.

Grade 12 prerequisite courses will be included in the calculation of your mid-year and final admission average.

Canadian provinces outside of OntarioCheck pages 61, 65-67 for a detailed list of course requirements, other admission requirements and recommendations for your program.

CÉGEP ApplicantYou must be enrolled in the pre-university CÉGEP program, have completed a minimum of 12 academic semester credits (excluding Physical Education) and have a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission consideration.

If you are registered in, or have completed year two in the pre-university program, you may be eligible for transfer credit depending on:

• Your desired program of study at Western.

Secondary School Applicant from Outside of CanadaYou are a secondary school student graduating from a school outside of Canada. You will be evaluated under the admission requirements pertaining to the country and education system in which you are studying.

You are eligible for transfer credit consideration for most Higher Level subjects with a score of 5 or higher if you have successfully completed the full IB diploma and meet Western’s admission criteria.

*This is a minimum grade total required for admission consideration. A competitive score based on predicted results is usually in the low to mid 30s and can vary depending on the program.

Advanced PlacementYou have registered in Advanced Placement courses and have written your AP Exams.

Your admission will be based on your current secondary school curriculum, not Advanced Placement. If you achieved at least 4 out of 5 in your AP exams, you may be considered for transfer credit to a maximum of 2.0 full credits.

Special Students are normally seeking to take some courses, not seeking a second undergraduate degree.

Applicants Seeking ReadmissionYou are seeking readmission to Western or an Affiliated University College (Brescia, Huron or King’s) following withdrawal for unsatisfactory academic standing.

You must submit an application along with the Reconsideration of Admission form. You will also be required to submit supporting documents for review by the Admission Committee.

Western Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurial mindsets can be learned.

Studies have shown 50-70 per cent of students have started a business while in school or hoped to start one in the future.

Are you among those who aspire to start a new business?

Are you looking to acquire the entrepreneurial skills and abilities employers are seeking in recent grads?

Western Entrepreneurship will help you discover and develop an entrepreneurial mindset through training programs, courses, events and workshops.

We know you have great ideas. Let’s make yours the next big thing.

Just ask Nicole Baranowski.

Nicole recently graduated with a degree in Kinesiology and specialized in Sports Management. During her time at Western, she was captain of the women’s varsity rowing team, won one national and two provincial rowing championships, and launched her business, Hairstrong.

Nicole was inspired to develop her startup in September, when a professor challenged her class to come up with a marketable idea for their entrepreneurship course.

As a competitive student-athlete, she reflected on her athletic experiences to inspire her idea. Her constant battle with long hair during training sessions was a daily frustration. “It got to the point where I would blame my hair for bad training sessions. Then I realized, it’s not my hair that’s the problem, it’s the products I use.”

This realization was the inspiration for her company, Hairstrong.

With the help of Western’s Entrepreneurship Centre, Nicole further developed her product. By December, her first prototype, the Strongband, was ready.

In April, she applied and was accepted into the Western Accelerator program, where she further developed her knowledge about business, marketing and entrepreneurship.

Within one year, Nicole was able to turn her idea into reality. Today, the world’s first customizable athletic scrunchie, the Hairstrong Strongband, is available for sale.

Developing an entrepreneurial mindsetNicole values her four years at Western for the rowing community, the friends she made, supportive professors and entrepreneurial culture. Image shows Nicole wearing her invention, the Hairstrong Strongband.
