To be admitted into the Master of Arts program, a student must meet the admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Manitoba, including English language proficiency requirements. Each student must also meet the supplementary requirements established by the Department of Political Studies. Normally, admission to the Master's program in Political Studies is through successful completion of the pre-MA program, outlined below, or by completion of a BA (Honours) program in Political Studies. Students holding a BA (Honours) degree are expected to have maintained a grade point average of 3.5 (B+) in their last 36 credit hours in Political Studies courses, to have completed a course in Political Theory, and to have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B). Other applicants will be considered for admission to the Master's program in Political Studies if they hold a BA (Advanced) with a major in Political Studies, and have a course selection pattern and performance in those courses that is comparable in quality to that of a BA (Honours) student. Applicants possessing a BA (Honours) degree in another discipline with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 (B+) will also be considered for direct entry into the program, primarily on the basis of their completion of Political Studies or directly related courses.
