Work experience required for some programs
The Pre-Master’s Program (PMP) is an advanced university preparation program designed for international students with a minimum English
level of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent. This one semester program is for graduate students that need to improve their English to meet the IELTS 6.5 requirement of an on-campus graduate program. The students take courses designed to prime them for the rigor of graduate level coursework in Canada.
The PMP is also refered to as the Transfer Student Program (see chart on page 12) because it is suitable for undergraduate transfer students seeking direct entry into year 3 of an on-campus undergraduate degree.
Once students reach a level of IELTS 6.5 they are ready to progress into an on-campus, graduate level program or transfer to year 3 of an undergraduate degree if all other entry requirements are met.
The PMP delivers curriculum within a framework that resembles typical graduate level study in Canada. Instruction during the program and measurable student work outcomes include, but are not limited to:
• Peer-reviewed content and readings and subsequent class discussions
• Formal individual and group presentations
• Collaborative and team projects
• Use of technology in program delivery
English for Academic Purposes; Critical Thinking Skills; Context for Business; and Accounting
