Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry needs English Studies 12 at 67% or equivalent (BCIT's Category 2 standard) and one of Pre-Calculus 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, or BCIT's own OPMT 0199 (Math for Business) or OPMT 0198 (Business Math Assessment Test), each at 67%. These prerequisites are listed directly on the program page rather than through a deferral to BCIT's general institute-wide admission page. No minimum GPA is set beyond these course grades, and no portfolio or interview accompanies the application. Prior work experience is not required but is noted as highly recommended for applicants. International applicants must hold a valid study permit before the program starts, on top of meeting the same academic requirements as domestic applicants.
