Application information

Entry requirements

Admission Requirements Applicants to either program must satisfy the department that they have the necessary skills in mathematics, statistics, as well as written and verbal communication to undertake the program. To this end, the department may require evidence of appropriate writing skills prior to admission. Applicants with an undergraduate degree from a Canadian or U.S. university are ordinarily not required to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), although it may be an advantage to do so. All other students must take the GRE.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Many graduate programs have three entry points: September, January and May; entry points and deadlines are listed on each program overview page.

The application fee is $145.25 if all documents originate within Canada and $187.00 if any originate outside Canada, payable online by credit card.
