One of the advantages of studying at CMU is having an opportunity to take courses that could prepare you for degree programs of professional faculties or schools at various universities. This way you can study Bible and theology and be part of a vibrant Christian community—while looking ahead to future studies in areas like law, education, medicine and others.

Preparing For A Career In Pharmacy

Download an information sheet,

The completion of one full year (30 credit hours) at Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) could prepare you to meet the entrance requirements for studies in Pharmacy. This page explains what you must do if you wish to continue studies at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Pharmacy. If you intend to continue studies at some other university, similar possibilities exist. However, it is important that you inquire about admission and program requirements at the university you are considering and that you work with the Coordinator of Student Advising at CMU to construct a program of studies at CMU that will achieve your objectives.

If you intend to enter the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, it is possible for you to complete one year of study at CMU without adding to the time it would take if you were to go directly to the University of Manitoba.

To become eligible for admission to the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, you must successfully complete 30 credit hours of university degree level studies, including one regular Fall/Winter session consisting of a minimum of 24 credit hours. The following courses are required for admission:

• Introductory Chemistry (6 credit hours)
• Introductory Biology with labs (6 credit hours)
• English Literature (3 credit hours)
• 15 credit hours of arts electives

Notes: Admission to Pharmacy is highly competitive. Applicants to Pharmacy must either have graduated from a Manitoba high school OR have completed 12 consecutive months of residency in Manitoba.
