This section provides links to university professional programs that require some prior university study. Any professional programs that you can enter directly from secondary school (e.g., many Concurrent Education and Nursing programs) are not listed here: you can find them by using the eINFO Program Finder.
A professional program is a program of advanced learning that leads to an occupation governed by a mandatory regulatory body. Practicing members of the profession must complete a licensing exam before they can actively practice and must keep their credentials current, through additional education mandated by the regulatory body. Professional programs include medicine, law, teacher education, rehabilitation sciences, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, nursing, etc.
For additional information about how to apply to programs in law, medicine, rehabilitation sciences (physical/physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology/audiology), or teacher education, visit http://www.ouac.on.ca/applications/.
