This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.
Variable Minimum Grade Average
A minimum grade average in required courses is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants. The following courses must be completed:
• COG250Y1 with a minimum grade of 70%, or
• 1.5 credits in CSC, LIN, PHL, or PSY with a minimum grade average of 70% based on the 1.5 credits. No more than 1.0 credits can be from any ONE of the listed course designators. If more than 1.5 credits have been completed, the grade average will be based on the higher course grades.
To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, applicants with a grade average lower than 70% in required courses will not usually be considered for admission. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade average of 70% does not guarantee admission to the program. The pool of applicants varies each year and sets the precedent for the program.
Note:
Students are responsible for checking co- and prerequisites for all courses. Not all courses are offered on a regular basis.
