Students will normally have a four year Bachelor’s degree (B.A., B.Sc., or equivalent) or a three year Bachelor’s degree supplemented by any combination of the following that, in the judgment of the MELS Steering Committee, constitutes the equivalency of a fourth year of undergraduate study: post-graduation studies, professional experience in an area of environmental science or life sciences (including, but not limited to, the subject areas biology, chemistry, geography and geology), accreditation by relevant professional associations. Students will normally have a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.30 (“B+”) in the last 30 credit hours of study completed prior to application for entry. |
