The program is delivered on Burman's Lacombe, Alberta campus, with international components built throughout.

Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: International Studies follows Burman University's general undergraduate admission requirements, since its own admissions page defers to the institution-wide standard: completion of high school with English 30-1 (or equivalent) at a minimum of 60%, four further grade 12 courses of which three must be academic, and an overall average of 60% with no individual grade below 55%. Burman's program-specific requirements page adds one course for International Studies: Math 30-1 at a minimum of 60%. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Burman's English proficiency standard: IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (560 paper-based), CAEL 70, PTE Academic 58, or Duolingo English Test 110; English 30-1 at 60% or one year of full-time study at an English-medium institution also satisfies it. No portfolio, interview, or work-experience requirement is stated for this program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Burman University does not publish a fixed application-closing date for domestic applicants; admission is described as non-competitive and there is no deadline to accept an offer, so in practice domestic admission runs on a rolling basis. The one concrete date found applies to international applicants: for Fall intake, students other than those from the USA must have documents submitted and financial clearance arranged by 8 May, though this figure was published for the Fall 2026 intake and Burman has not yet posted an equivalent date for Fall 2027. No named application service is used; applicants apply directly to Burman (Albertans via ApplyAlberta, others via Burman's own form). No programme-specific deadlines were found for Education, Music, or other majors beyond this general international documents deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
