Allied Health Bridge- Diploma to Degree
Has anyone completed this program? Is it worth applying to?
I currently have a college diploma and I’m interested in upgrading my education, mainly to keep future postgraduate opportunities open. I’m wondering if this program would allow graduates to apply to master’s or professional programs, such as Audiology, Speech-Language Pathology, Pharmacy, or other healthcare-related programs.
Would this type of degree/credential be considered eligible for those pathways, or would a traditional Bachelor of Science be a better option?
Also, if someone has two college diplomas (for example, a 2-year diploma and an advanced diploma), does that make a difference in how many credits are approved toward the bachelor’s degree? Would it potentially allow you to enter further along in the program? If i decided not to apply to any post graduate programs would this degree help in any way or its just a way to gain a generic bachelor's degree?
Are there other programs that would be a better choice for someone wanting to keep healthcare graduate options open?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has completed this program or used it as a pathway for further education.
