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 is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants.
The following two requirements must be completed:
- 0.5 credit with a minimum grade of 67% from ECO101H1/ IRW230H1*, or a minimum grade of 80% from ECO105Y1
- 1.5 credits from SOC/ PSY/ IRE/ IRW, at any level, of which no more than 0.5 credit can be IRE/ IRW, with a combined minimum average grade of 75%
To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, students with a final grade/grade average lower than the grades listed above will not be considered for admission. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade average does not guarantee admission to the program.
Requests for admission will only be considered in the first program request period. Due to the limited enrolment nature of this program students are strongly advised to apply to backup programs.
* IRW230H1 cannot be used for enrolment/program requirements in Economics. For all other programs, consult with the offering department.
Notes:
- For the first requirement, only a 0.5 credit can be counted toward the completion of the IRHR specialist.
- Students must meet prerequisites and/or enrolment requirements for ECO, PSY, IRE, IRW courses. Check the Faculty of Arts and Science's timetable for details.
- Students enrolled in this program cannot be simultaneously enrolled in or complete any other CIRHR programs.
