EXPLORERI AM AN

Through the University of Manitoba, I’ve been able to travel the globe as an exchange student and open my mind to new cultures and experiences. I explore our world through the lens of my camera, and in doing so, I have started to discover who I really am. When I won the university’s Define Your Future video contest, it strengthened my confidence. I’ve selected an arctic adventure for my prize, and this fall I will travel to Greenland to work alongside university researchers. It will be an experience to remember.

— NICOLE WRUTH, School of Art, Photography major, Winner of Define Your Future contest

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM OPTIONS

DIRECT ENTRY (apply from high school)

If you’re coming to the University of Manitoba directly from high school (or equivalent) or have completed less than one year of university studies, you’ll go the Direct Entry route into a faculty or program. For most students, this means entering into University 1.

Other faculties and programs also have Direct Entry options. Each has its own set of requirements.

Direct Entry programs:

• University 1 • Agricultural and Food Sciences • Agriculture Diploma • Arts• Dental Hygiene • Engineering • Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of

Environment, Earth, and Resources • Fine Arts (Diploma and Studio

Degree programs) • General Studies (Extended Education) • Human Ecology • I.H. Asper School of Business• Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music • Kinesiology and Recreation Management • Science

ADVANCED ENTRY (apply after University 1)

After University 1, you can choose from a wide variety of faculties and programs at the University of Manitoba. Each program that accepts students from University 1 (or with the equivalent amount of work completed in another faculty) has certain criteria that must be met to be considered for admission. These criteria are described in full in the Applicant Information Bulletins which are available from the Admissions Office website. These requirements include academic criteria (e.g., certain minimum number of courses that must be completed, specific required courses, minimum grades in specific courses, minimum overall or adjusted averages, etc.) and non-academic criteria (e.g., references, an interview, relevant background information, etc.). When a faculty or program has too many eligible applicants, a selection or admissions committee will choose the best qualified students, using a process that is described in the Applicant Information Bulletin.

Advanced Entry programs:

• Agricultural and Food Sciences • Architecture (Environmental Design) • Arts • Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of

Environment, Earth, and Resources • Dental Hygiene • Engineering • Fine Arts (Art History) • Human Ecology • I.H. Asper School of Business • Kinesiology and Recreation Management • Medical Rehabilitation (Respiratory

Therapy) • Nursing • Pharmacy • Science • Social Work

Admission to undergraduate programs is divided into two categories: Direct Entry and Advanced Entry.

FACULTIES REQUIRING TWO OR MORE YEARS OF UNIVERSITY STUDYThere are a few faculties and programs which require at least two or more years of university study before you can apply. Dentistry, Law and the Music/Education integrated program require two years of pre-professional studies to qualify for admission. Education and Medicine require a completed degree before entry.

Like Advanced Entry programs, the following faculties will have academic and non-academic requirements and will use a selection process to choose the best qualified students:

• Dentistry • Education • Law • Medicine • Music/Education Integrated Program

basis and is subject to change.2. The number in brackets following the University of Manitoba course

number is the credit hours assigned to that course.3. Students with IB or AP examinations that do not appear on these lists may

request that these courses be reviewed for transfer credit. When students claim their AP or IB credits they should verify the regulations applicable to their faculty/school of interest with the Admissions Office or the University 1 Student Help Centre, and should take these regulations into account when registering for their university courses.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: CANADIAN APPLICANTS

Direct Entry Admission RequirementsThese requirements apply to current high school students from other provinces or students who have already graduated from high school in another province but who have completed less than 24 credit hours (four full courses) at an accredited university/college. Some direct entry program options may not consider applications from candidates who have completed any university or college courses after high school graduation. Every direct entry program option requires students to meet both the general university entrance requirements as well as program-specific admissions requirements. All of the direct entry program options are open to Canadian students applying from outside of Manitoba.

Advanced Entry Admission RequirementsStudents must present at least 24 credit hours of university level credit to apply to an advanced entry program option; however the specific requirements for each option will vary. Some programs will give Manitoba residents priority within their admissions process. A full listing of the admissions policies for each advanced entry program option including residency requirements, may be found at umanitoba.ca/admissions.

Program Specific Admission RequirementsApplicants from outside of Manitoba will be required to present equivalent courses to those required of Manitoba high school graduates listed on pages 54-55. Competitive averages may be required for some direct entry program options.

High School PrerequisitesPrograms may require students to present high school course prerequisites over and above the courses required for admission. Students may apply and be accepted into a program without the prerequisite courses, but they will need to either complete the prerequisite, a provincial equivalent, or a preparatory upgrading course in its place once in the program. The prerequisite requirements must be completed before students will be allowed to register in specific courses that require the prerequisites.
