This program is designed for current students (major/honours) who want to fast-track their MA in political science. Students in the Accelerated Master’s program must fulfill the degree requirements of both the bachelor’s and master’s program in political science. Accepted students will be eligible to enrol in a maximum of ten units of graduate coursework—either as electives or upper-division required courses at the bachelor's level—while in the undergraduate program. These units will also count toward the program requirements for the master's program.

Admission Requirements

• Successful completion of at least 90 credits of undergraduate work;
• Cumulative GPA of at least 3.33/4.33 on 90 undergraduate units, or grade point average of at least 3.5/4.33 based on the most recent 60 units of undergraduate and graduate courses.

How to apply

Applications to the Accelerated Master’s program follow the same procedures as regular graduate admissions.

Students will be offered admission into the Course-intensive option of the Master’s program conditional on completing the Bachelor’s degree. Students wishing to pursue the Project or Thesis option may transfer once they have entered the Master’s program with approval from their supervisor and the Graduate Program Chair.
