Certificate/Upgrading/Audit Admission Criteria
Certificate and Subsequent Degree Programs: Part-time and Full-time
Applicants seeking admission to a certificate program have two options available to them. Undergraduate certificate programs are designed for students who do not already hold a degree, while post-graduate certificate programs are geared to applicants who have completed a degree. Admission requirements for entry to undergraduate certificate programs are the same as those for entry to full-time undergraduate studies. Applicants applying to post-graduate certificate programs should present a minimum of a three or four-year degree (depending on the program). Applicants to post-graduate programs are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant department to discuss their educational background prior to applying. For a list of departments refer to www.brocku.ca/academics/departments.

Undergraduate-Upgrading
- Applicants who have completed a degree may wish to upgrade for the purpose of entering graduate programs or professional schools. A degree must be completed and conferred prior to application.
- While studies are normally completed on a part-time basis, if space is available, applicants may complete their upgrading on a full-time basis (international students must study full-time).
