Admission is limited and competitive.

To be considered for admission to the M.E.R. program, an applicant shall have:

1. An undergraduate degree, with a minimum B standing, from an institution recognized by Senate; and

2. An undergraduate course in organizational behaviour and microeconomics, from an institution recognized by Senate, with a minimum B standing in each course.

In exceptional cases, applicants who have not completed an undergraduate degree, but who meet all other requirements, may be considered for admission. Preference will be given to those who have a minimum of 10 years of full-time professional experience, including demonstrated success in employment relations, and who have successfully completed substantial university course work including several courses at an advanced undergraduate level from an institution recognized by Senate. Applicants without an undergraduate degree must have completed one or more undergraduate courses in organizational behavioural and microeconomics, from an institution recognized by Senate, with a minimum B standing in each course. Any applicants who do not meet normal admission requirements, may also be required to successfully complete the GMAT or the GRE with an acceptable score and/or additional undergraduate courses before being considered for admission.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete an introductory course in statistics prior to admission.
