Students may gain admission directly from secondary school or transfer from a recognized university or college with a minimum of 24 credits, or as mature students. For admission to the Bachelor of Science in Food and Resource Economics, students should consult the Faculty’s Admission section.
To be considered for transfer admission, students are required to have a minimum academic standing of at least 70% (or 2.80 on a 4-point scale). Achievement of this minimum, however, does not guarantee admission. Due to receipt of many more qualified applicants than there are spaces available in most programs, a higher average is often required.
To help assess suitability students must submit with their application a 500 word (maximum) Letter of Intent which addresses the following:
a) why the student wishes to enrol in the Food and Resource Economics program;
b) the student's professional aspirations; and
c) any relevant personal, volunteer, or work experience.
