Applicants to the MSc program whose academic standing qualifies them for graduate work, but whose previous education did not include topics essential to the area of research they wish to pursue may be offered the opportunity to remedy these deficiencies during a one-year Pre-master’s program of study. The Pre-master’s program will normally include a minimum of 18 credit hours. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
The normal entry requirement is the equivalent of an honours BSc degree in earth sciences from the University of Manitoba. Students with honours degrees in related disciplines may be accepted by the Graduate Admissions Committee providing their planned degree program involves studies in the earth sciences. Applicants require a GPA of 3.0 (B or equivalent) in the last two full years (60 credit hours) of study. |
