Courses
Semester 1
- Biology I SCIE0009
Units/ Hours: 45
This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems. Students will study theory and conduct applied investigation in the areas of cellular structure and function, human body organization and homeostasis, as well as control and coordination of body functions by the nervous system.
- Chemistry I SCIE0131
Units/ Hours: 45
Chemistry I is an introductory chemistry course to prepare students for further study and future employment in the health science field. This course gives students the knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of chemistry with an opportunity for hands-on application of concepts in a laboratory setting. Topics covered will include measurement, matter and energy, the periodic table, nomenclature, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, as well as electronic structure and periodic trends.
- English I COMM0019
Units/ Hours: 45
This course emphasizes consolidation of literacy, critical thinking, and communication skills. Students will analyse a range of challenging texts from various time periods, countries, and cultures: write analytical and argumentative essays and a major paper for an independent literary research project: and apply key concepts to analyse media works. An important focus will be on understanding academic language and using it coherently and confidently in discussion and argument.
- Preparatory Health Data Management MATH0021
Units/ Hours: 45
This course will prepare the student mathematically for study and work in the health sciences field. The course broadens students' understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing information. The student will apply methods for organizing large amounts of information: apply counting techniques, probability, and statistics in modeling and solving problems. The student will develop a basic understanding of inferential statistics, including sampling theory and the issue of bias.
- General Education Elective
Course Number: GENED
All graduates of diploma programs require general education credits. These courses allow you to explore issues of societal concern by looking at the history, theory and contemporary applications of those issues.
Your program has designated some required general education courses. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose from a list of electives each semester.
Many of these courses and some other general education courses are also available through evening classes, by distance education, or on-line. See our Part-Time Studies Calendar for these opportunities.
You may already possess general education equivalencies from other colleges or universities. Please see the General Education Co-ordinators at the Peterborough and Lindsay locations for possible exemptions.

Semester 2
- Biology II SCIE0010
Units/ Hours: 45
This course provides students with the opportunity for continued study of the concepts and processes associated with the human body. Students will study theory and conduct applied investigation to the many organ systems of the body, including cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Human development, genetics, and applications of biotechnology will also be discussed.
Pre-Requisites
- Chemistry II SCIE0132
Units/ Hours: 45
Chemistry II is a general chemistry course that follows Chemistry I and is designed to prepare students for study and work in a chemistry-related or health science field. This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of molecular structure, gases, solutions and acid-base chemistry, rates of reaction, chemical equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Students will also be introduced to organic chemistry and biochemistry. The laboratory component of Chemistry II will allow students to achieve hands-on learning of the concepts taught and to gain practical experience in writing formal lab reports.
Pre-Requisites
- English II COMM0020
Units/ Hours: 45
The second half of English I continues to emphasize consolidation of literacy, critical thinking, and communication skills. Students will analyse a range of challenging texts from various time periods, countries, and cultures: write analytical and argumentative essays and a major paper for an independent literary research project: and apply key concepts to analyse media works. An important focus will be on understanding academic language and using it coherently and confidently in discussion and argument.
- Preparatory Health Math MATH0020
Units/ Hours: 45
This course will prepare the student mathematically for study and work in the health sciences field. Topics covered will include manipulating polynomials, rational expressions, and exponential expressions; functions and function notation; graphing linear and non-linear functions and linear inequalities to solve applied problems; an introduction to matrix and matrix manipulation; solving systems of equations using a variety of techniques; and a brief introduction to the concepts of regression analysis as they relate to linear graphing.
