Graduates of recognized academic institutions outside Canada should hold an appropriate bachelor's or master’s degree or equivalent as assessed by the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS) at Ontario Tech University. Please note that meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance into a graduate program at Ontario Tech.
