Tourism and Hospitality

Admission Requirement

• Master’s degree (MSc) applicants are required to have completed a four year Honours degree (minimum 2nd class (B+) or equivalent), from a recognized post-secondary institution.
• Any applicant who believes that their experiential learning may compensate for a lack of academic standing and thus not meet the University’s minimum requirements may contact the Graduate Coordinator regarding alternative admissions criteria, which normally would require at least 5 years in a research or equivalent position in industry.
• All applicants should have a GMAT score of 550 or better or a minimum GRE score of 150 (Verbal) and 159 (Quantitative). (On the previous scale: Minimum 1200 with a minimum verbal score of 450 or better).
• All applicants will need to have an academic or industry background in tourism, the social sciences, humanities or professional/business related programs in allied areas such as hospitality, travel, human resources, marketing or consumer studies. For applicants who did not major in these areas in their undergraduate degree or diploma, additional prerequisites may be required.
• All applicants must meet English language proficiency requirements for admission. There are no additional language requirements other than the English proficiency. If an applicants’ first language is not English, or the undergraduate degree was not taught in an English-language setting, a standard language test score will be required.
