Graduate Certificate Leadership in Engineering and Advanced Practice

In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies’ admission requirements, all applicants must meet the following requirements:

a) A BSc in Engineering or equivalent.

b) A minimum GPA of 3.00 (on the University of Calgary four-point system) calculated on the most recent 60 units of completed course work.

c) Holders of BSc or equivalent degrees in Science, Medicine or Kinesiology, if accepted, may be required to take additional senior undergraduate engineering courses. These courses will not be counted for credit toward their graduate program. Holders of bachelor’s degrees from disciplines other than Engineering, Science, Medicine or Kinesiology are required to complete a minimum of 30 units undergraduate engineering courses with a minimum GPA of 3.00 on a four-point scale before admission.

d) Two reference letters.

e) Minimum of three years of work experience in engineering or a closely related field.

f) Resume or CV.

In exceptional circumstances, students who do not meet the entrance requirements (but have BSc degrees in the same or equivalent Engineering discipline and a GPA of at least 2.70) may be considered for admission after upgrading requirements have been met. Upgrading requirements include a minimum of 18 units of coursework with a minimum grade of 3.00 on a 4.0-point scale in each course. At least 6 units of these courses will be at the graduate level. Upgrading courses will be prescribed by the Associate Dean (Graduate Studies) or designate in those instances where they are required.
