Eligibility Criteria
The minimum requirement for admission to the master’s program is a B.A.(Honours) degree or the equivalent, with high honours standing in communication or a related discipline. Related disciplines may include sociology, political science, film studies, and Canadian studies.
Applicants without a background in communication studies may be required to take certain designated courses from the undergraduate mass communication program in addition to their regular program.
Possession of the minimum entrance standing is not in itself, however, an assurance of admission into the program.
Applicants who lack an Honours degree but who have a 3-year degree with honours standing (a minimum B standing overall) may be considered for admission to a qualifying-year program. Students who complete the qualifying year with high honours standing may be considered for admission to the master’s program in the following year. Refer to the General Regulations section of this Calendar for regulations governing the qualifying year.
