REAL STRUCTURE (not to be confused with the integrated programs of French-language universities): admission to the 90-credit B.Sc. (Rehabilitation Science) — major in physical therapy or occupational therapy — DESIGNED to lead to the M.Sc.(Applied) in the same discipline. The degree required to practise the profession is the M.Sc.(Applied): the B.Sc. alone does not give the right to practice. It is recommended to have all prerequisites before entry; admission is managed centrally by McGill Admissions. Strict rule published in the catalogue: a student required to withdraw from either program will not be readmitted to either one. No published minimum R score found:
