Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation (BCR)

For other regulations related to the BCR, see: 3. Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies.

Introduction

This five-year program leads to both the Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation (offered by the Cumming School of Medicine) and program/ program or program /program (offered by the Faculty of Arts) degrees, and is jointly sponsored by the two faculties. Completion of the program requires a minimum of 150 units.

Admission

Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree in year one or a subsequent year. Admission requirements of both Faculties, the Department of Psychology and Community Rehabilitation Studies, must be satisfied in order to qualify for the combined degree program.

The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact Arts Students’ Centre (Student Inquiries) and the Student Advisor in the Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Program. It will be possible for students to opt out of the combined program until the end of their third year and complete either a BA or BSc in Psychology or a BCR degree in four years. Students should note, however, that if courses have been unevenly distributed, more than four years may be required to complete the degree.

Two-year post-diploma students are ineligible for this program.
