Eligibility Criteria
General requirements for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research apply and specific details include:
A baccalaureate graduating average of at least 70% is required for direct admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics where the average for admission is 75%. International students should check the web site for grade conversions based on the most common grading scales for each country. Applicants with a marginally lower 4-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75% or more). Letters of recommendation, preferably from former professors or persons acquainted with the work of the applicant, and in a position to comment critically on the capability to do graduate research or course work, must support this promise of ability.
An applicant is to have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in the chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies will be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.
