As we are an interdisciplinary program, we will accept students from a wide variety of backgrounds such as political science, international relations, global affairs, law, public policy, sociology, anthropology and economics. We welcome students with other backgrounds, for instance in Science, English or Arts, but encourage them to take a few undergraduate courses in international affairs to prepare for NPSIA. In some cases where the student is deemed by the admissions committee to have an insufficient background in international affairs, they may be required to complete up to two additional courses as part of their MA program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under current practice, at least a high honours standing (B+ or 77% minimum GPA) is normally required to be considered for admission to the program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students admitted to the NPSIA MA program must have successfully completed a first-year introductory microeconomics course (0.5 credit) and a first-year introductory macroeconomics course (0.5 credit), with a minimum grade of B- before starting the program (ECON 1001 and ECON 1002 at Carleton, or an equivalent). Students can be made a conditional offer of admission to complete this requirement prior to starting the MA program. Not all economics courses or grades are accepted, so please contact the School if you have any questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"language-requirement\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Language Requirement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NPSIA\u2019s language of instruction is English. <a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.carleton.ca\/\">Carleton&#8217;s Department of Graduate Studies<\/a> requires applicants whose native tongue is not English to demonstrate their proficiency in English.&nbsp;&nbsp;Carleton\u2019s Graduate Studies Regulation 3.6 outlines the various ways in which applicants can satisfy this requirement, listed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/grad\/gradregulations\/#applicationforadmission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/grad\/gradregulations\/#applicationforadmission<\/a>. <strong>Applicants who present their most recent degree and transcripts from a Canadian institution are exempt from language proficiency requirements.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    \n    <div class=\"cu-callout cu-callout--start cu-component border-8 md:border-[12px] border-solid border-cu-black-50 px-8 pt-5 pb-6 md:px-16 md:pt-8 md:py-10 rounded-lg cu-prose-first-last\">\n                    <header class=\"cu-pageheader cu-component cu-prose-first-last \">\n                <h2 id=\"accelerated-pathway-to-npsia-for-undergraduate-students-at-carleton\" class=\"cu-prose-first-last font-semibold !mt-2 mb-4 md:mb-6 text-2xl md:text-3xl lg:text-4xl lg:leading-[3rem] relative after:left-px after:absolute after:h-px after:bottom-0 pb-4 after:w-8 after:bg-cu-red\">\n                    Accelerated Pathway to NPSIA for undergraduate students at Carleton\n                <\/h2>\n            <\/header>\n        \n        \n\n<p>The accelerated pathway at NPSIA is a flexible and individualized plan for students pursuing a Carleton undergraduate degree in a related discipline such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/\">Global and International Affairs (BGInS)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bpapm\/\">Public Affairs and Policy Management (BPAPM)<\/a>&nbsp;degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-dark-grey is-style-dark-grey--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/npsia\/cu-file\/accelerated-pathway-application-form\/\">NPSIA Accelerated Pathway Application Form<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/npsia\/cu-file\/accelerated-pathway-npsia\/\">Accelerated Pathway Outline &#8211;
