BA/BS in Writing and Rhetoric

Admission Requirements: Direct-entry applicants from a BC or Yukon high school must complete a minimum of five approved Grade 12 courses, including English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 with a minimum grade of 70 percent, or the equivalent AP or IB course. Grade 11 prerequisites include English 11, Math 11 or Foundations of Mathematics/Pre-Calculus 11, one approved Science 11 course, and one Social Studies 11 course. At Grade 12, Course List A must include the required English course plus, because this is a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences program, only one further List A humanities or social-science course rather than the two required by some other faculties, with additional List A or List B courses added to reach the five-course minimum. Admission is holistic, evaluating all approved Grade 11 and 12 courses with greater weight on List A; SFU does not publish a fixed minimum competitive average for this route. Diverse-qualifications and Indigenous-student admission pathways exist as alternatives to the standard grade-based route.
