Ã山ǿ¼é

The M.P.P. program is directed at early career professionals who normally have two to five years professional experience and who are interested in developing expertise in the field of public policy. Recent graduates with an exceptional academic record will also be considered.

A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent as recognized by Ã山ǿ¼é) is required.

The ideal applicant will have completed undergraduate courses in Political Science, Economics, Quantitative Methods, and/or Statistics. A Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) 3.6 out of 4.0 or higher recommended.

Students without an undergraduate or graduate degree from a Canadian University must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE; General Test). Please use Ã山ǿ¼é's code, 0935, when writing the exam.

Applicants who earned a bachelor's degree outside of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 100 for the Internet-based TOEFL exam test (iBT; 600 for the paper-based test (PBT)) with each component score not less than 20 is required. Please use Ã山ǿ¼é's institutional code, 0935, when writing the exam.

Applicants may write the IELTS (International English Language Testing Systems) instead of the TOEFL exam. A minimum overall band score of 7.0 is required, with each component score not less than 7.0. IELTS test scores must be sent electronically by IELTS directly to Ã山ǿ¼é using Ã山ǿ¼é's institutional code: 0935.
