This section presents the requirements for programs in:

A Co-operative Education Option is available with the B.P.A.P.M. degree (consult the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar for details.)

Graduation Requirements

In addition to the requirements listed below, students must satisfy the University regulations (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar.)

Students should consult the College when planning their program and selecting courses.

Minimum CGPA Requirements for Graduation

Overall CGPA: 6.50

Language Requirement for B.P.A.P.M.

  1. successful completion of an approved French language credit (FREN 1100);
  2. placement at a demonstrated competency level equivalent to satisfactory completion of FREN 1100 following a self-assessment questionnaire and interview administered by the Department of French (for students who already possess demonstrated capacity in French);
  3. successful completion of French Immersion in high school or possession of a Bilingual Diploma or Certificate.

Students should note that they will be required to use one of their elective credits if they choose to satisfy the language requirement through an approved French language credit.
