Students applying for master's level degrees are required to hold a bachelor's degree in an appropriate discipline from a recognized university. Applicants must meet the general requirements set out by the Faculty of Graduate Studies in the Graduate Studies calendar. Ordinarily a B+ average (6.0 GPA) in the last two years of university work is a minimum requirement for admission to the program, however, students may request consideration on the basis of life or work experience equivalency. Applications are reviewed by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the SDH Graduate Advisors and other SDH faculty members.
