MiM Admission
Admission Requirements
AThe general admission requirement for the MiM is a 4-year degree in business or in a related field. The minimum acceptable CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is a 3.5 out of a possible 4.5, equivalent to a "B" on a letter grade scale. The Faculty of Graduate Studies assesses degrees earned outside of Canada to determine their equivalency. In addition, applicants must demonstrate leadership or relevant professional experience (a minimum of two years) that will enable significant contributions to discussions on management topics.
Applications with a non-business degree, a 3-year degree, a professional designation, and/or extensive professional experience in a leadership capacity will be considered on an individual basis. In the DA stream, applicants need to demonstrate quantitative skills such as those gained in engineering, economics, statistics, finance or mathematics. Pre-qualifying courses may be required as determined by the Department of Business & Administration.

Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP)
International students wishing to qualify for post graduate work permits (PGWP) must complete more than 50% of their courses on campus taking in-person courses (as opposed to online) and must be enrolled as full-time students. There are sufficient courses offered in both specializations to meet this requirement.
Please note: when online courses are offered (when there are no in person lectures), International students should continue to complete these courses in Canada.
