Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management program's own requirements page defers entirely to Mount Saint Vincent University's general admission requirements (sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.6 of the undergraduate calendar) rather than stating course-specific criteria; the program's marketing page confirms routes exist for high-school, mature and international applicants alike. Domestic applicants are assessed on their Grade 12 academic courses; for Nova Scotia and comparable Canadian provinces this means at least five university-preparatory Grade 12 courses with an overall average of 70% or higher and no individual grade below 60%, including Grade 12 academic English at 65% or higher, with detailed requirements varying by province. International secondary-school applicants need an average of at least 70% across their five best final-year academic subjects, and transfer applicants need an overall GPA of 2.0. Applicants whose first language is not English must submit IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0), TOEFL iBT 86-92 (no section below 21), PTE Academic 59 (no band below 54), CAEL 60 or Duolingo English Test 115 (no subscore below 95).
