Dalhousie requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the last two years (60 credits) in a related four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent. Although 3.0 is the minimum acceptable GPA, the MES is a competitive program and the majority of our students hold a 3.7 GPA in their last two years or study. This GPA additionally enables our students to equalify for scholarship. We also require a minimum of 7.5 (or equivalent, if applicable), two strong references, evidence from a resume of relevant experince (work, school or volunteer), a viable statement of reserach interest and consent of a SRES supervisor to oversee the work.
