To be admitted to the Graduate Diploma in Community Economic Development (CED) program, potential participants will generally be expected to have completed an undergraduate degree with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0, or a B, and must be able to read, write, and express themselves in either English or French.
Each applicant’s background and learning goals are fully considered by the Program’s Admissions Committee.
Applicants need to submit a two-to-four page personal statement in which they outline their particular field(s) of interest, what they expect or hope from their studies within the Program, how these expectations or hopes tie into their professional or personal goals, their strengths and weaknesses, and what they expect, from their specific strengths, to contribute to the advancement of CED. As well, a brief resume (CV) is required to gain more global appreciation of the applicant’s background.
