GPA – Grade Point Average

All applicants accepted into the MA program must have a GPA of B+ (77%) or higher in order to be admitted. We will consider two calculations of your GPA: first by using all courses you have completed in your degree(s) and then calculate your final 10 credits (typically equals 20 single semester courses, your final two years if you average 5 courses per Fall/Winter).

Carleton University uses 0.5 credit/1.0 credit course units. A 0.5 credit course is typically a single semester course. If you are at an institution that uses 3 credits for a single semester course, our 0.5 credit is equal to your 3 credits.
