2 Year Programs
Pre-university programs prepare you for entry to university and give you an important opportunity to explore your passions and strengths. Dawson has five pre-university programs and 19 different profiles, which means you have many options and can focus your studies on something you find really interesting.
A profile is a specific stream of a program (for example, Psychology is a profile of Social Science). Although you apply directly to a profile during the admission process, your graduation diploma indicates the program you completed (So, using the above example, your diploma will be in Social Science).
