Candidates must hold a grade of C- or better in the prerequisite courses for each required BPK course, and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 across all required courses. The certificate is normally expected to be completed within five years of admission, and its units cannot be applied to another SFU certificate or diploma.
