Ethics Certificate

Admission Requirements: The Ethics certificate page does not set a separate admission test or minimum entering average; it is a declared certificate open to students already admitted to Simon Fraser University, including students outside philosophy. Entry to the required philosophy coursework is via completion of one of PHIL 120W (or equivalent), PHIL 121 or PHIL 221, and every course counted toward the certificate must be passed with a minimum grade of C-. Students must maintain an overall SFU cumulative grade point average of 2.25 to remain eligible. Because the certificate carries no separate admission gate, English-language proficiency and secondary-school prerequisites follow SFU's general undergraduate admission requirements: Canadian applicants need five approved Grade 12 courses including English Studies 12 with 70%+ in Language Arts 11/English 12, and English-language tests follow SFU's general scale (e.g. IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, no band below 6.0).
