Academic performance is the main criterion for admission.
However, you may use the Student Profile Form, which will be sent to you after you apply, to tell us about your leadership and citizenship qualities and factors that may have affected your academic performance. This may result in special consideration for applicants with less that the minimum admission average. International and volunteer experience should be noted on the Student Profile Form. 2,876 Career Opportunities Graduates from the International Development program find employment in the law, business, foreign service, government and non-governmental agencies, education institutions in Canada and abroad, journalism, ecotourism, environmental consulting and research.
